It's great to see that you were able to overcome the comfort auto-completion gives you.
And it's not that I am entirely against it. Just the comfort it brings you which leaves you with skill gaps. Nowadays, I use auto-complete but I have configured it to be triggered manually, instead of automatically offering me completions.
That way, I can still type out all the symbols of a for loop, while keeping the possibility to auto-complete a 5-word identifier.
But apart from auto-completion, there are other layers of abstraction the IDE gives you. That's why I believe using a bare bones editor at least for a while is beneficial.
As for emacs, you are totally right. You can get the same experience using it instead of vim. I'm just a fan of the latter. :P
