its well known that intellisense has always been broken with things like ListList.Contains
or pressing . after typing certain prefixes does not correctly show options, or typing null enter puts null.type in.
Also a huge issue is no intellisense in Dataflows
both need fixing

There are plug-ins for Notepad++ and Visual Studio Code and probably other editors, but it would be more convenient to have it in the "Advanced" editor.

Makes sense even if you don't think about it...

Fully agree. One of my biggest issues is intelligence guessing what you want, and almost always getting it wrong. It always replaces Text.Start with some function I never use!

Agreed 100%
The current behavior is very disruptive. Thank you for posting this, Wyn!

I couldn't agree more on this one.
hopefully Power Query development team can get some ideas from VS code intellisense. There, it works perfectly, at least for Python and SQL (these are the programming languages I work the most. Haven't tested others, but I'm assuming they work equally well given VS code popularity).
Thank you.
