I'm a more recent convert (somewhere around 2015, I think), but didn't
know this either. I was basically in the same boat; I knew people did
have completion in vim, but assumed it to be a plugin or something I
would have to configure and never took the time to look into it. Now
that I know about it, I can foresee this being a very frequently used
feature once it makes it into muscle memory. Thanks for bringing it
up!
