If there was one thing I sorely missed on Windows that was it. There was a third party attempt that sort of worked but iirc Win10 was the first time MS had something semi-useful. MS has always been strange. 2000 had tab completion -- if you hacked the registry. I think you had to add the key instead of just enabling it, meaning you had to know the secret password. I use the Vim plugin/extension for Visual Studio and VS Code. MS can design a fairly nice IDE but their editors have usually sucked.
