Sounds all good, but does the in-the-background-compilation and the
actual completion search really scale with our code base?
What scares me away is "that no keyboard shortcuts had to be pressed to
get the list of completion candidates" ;-)  so it is continuously
popping up suggestions I didn't ask for? That looks a little annoying in
the demo. Other than that the description reads as if it was a quite
sophisticated utility.

So far I'm using

OmniCppComplete : C/C++ omni-completion with ctags database 
http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=1520

where our ctags tags file already provides the necessary information
for. It does have some shortcomings but most times works when needed.
