It's too restrictive for me to need to have the PDF visible at every
time I edit. It's nice sometimes to see a numbered equation, realize you
want a reference to it, and quickly add a reference without figuring out
its label. However, normally when I'm referring to equations in-line
with text, I'm writing that text soon after I generated the equation
label (and in close proximity). Moreover, I use a label that has some
useful meaning. For example, a reference to Newton's Second Law could be
"eq:n2l", and I wouldn't have to open up a PDF to find it.
So I can see some cases where the aux-based completion would be
convenient, but I think most people would need the tex-based completion
most of the time.

So long as...
\ref{thm.4.5<F9>
\autoref{thm.4.5<F9>
\ScoobyDooRef{thm.4.5<F9>
all leave their macros in tact, then it wouldn't be a problem. People
who don't like your choices can type their own choices and just use F9
to fill in the labels.

A lot of people (especially when journals setup theorem-like
environments for you) won't know the counter name. I suppose they could
assume they know the first letter of the counter and use F9 to figure
out the rest<?>.

But, as you say, the counter.number still works.

And leaves the macro (whatever it is called) in tact? Does the macro
have to end in "ref" or will the completion be activated for any curly
brace?
