It might be a shocking revelation to you but not everybody uses or
relies their world on bash autocompletion.

What world are you living in?
bash-completion is not a default package.  Obviously only a small
percentage of users are going to use it.  This isn't something you need
to debate about.  If it was used by the majority, it would be there by
default already.
it is used by all professional users using mostly a terminal
yeah...I'm getting paid for this, so I guess I'm a professional user,
and I use terminals an awful lot, but I don't use bash-completion. Every
time I ever tried it I found, like Rahul, that it makes things slow and
tends to get in my way more than it ever does help me.
I use bash completion all the time every single day - I guess I have
become a corner case!

No you haven't. All the developers I have worked with since the early nineties use it all the
time every day. We would be lost without it.
