To me, utterly useless while coding. Useful while refactoring, sometimes.
(What's a circle mean versus a square? And WTF is a triangle for?)
public -> circle
private -> square
protected -> diamond
none -> triangle
Useful or useless, this is *beautiful* UI design. Each of those is
different colors *and* shapes. Even the color-blind can make use of it.
I hate "suggestions" when I'm typing something in. I much prefer a
post-processing step if I'm going to use such things. Don't distract
me with irrelevent nonsense; when I want suggestions, I'll ask for 'em.
The suggestions don't normally pop up. They are a syntax highlight and
a margin indicator. You can use them if you want; you can ignore them
if you want.
Some environments will also automatically reformat code for you to your
preferred style. This is great for cleaning up inconsistent styles in
code, but if your style isn't quite set properly, you can end up making
a lot of changes that run counter to the project's official style.
(I've denied commit access to developers who upgraded their IDE and lost
the style settings...)
Oh, yeah. You betcha.
Changing established indentation is a sin.
