The old formatting 'rule' of not exceeding 80 characters on a line has
finally started to die, along with the terminals that encouraged it,
which has helped things a great deal.

I share your appreciation of IDE's abilities to autocomplete code - the
productivity difference is enormous, but then the mental agility lost
to not remembering API definitions anymore is a bit of a concern.
