Any thoughts on how this performs vs deoplete? I've really enjoyed deoplete. It makes my coding quite a bit faster. However I've recently become pretty frustrated with all the gocode forks and go module interaction, so there's definitely room for improvement.

Tabnine and something like deoplete are not directly comparable in my opinion. Deoplete is a completion framework (with dictionary based language specific systems) and tabnine is an intelligent language-agnostic completion system. You could theoretically have Tabnine support deoplete (it is currently YCM based). As the author mentioned in an other reply, dictionary based completion systems are good for api exploration, while tabnine is for more contextual completion.

Deoplete is not dictionary based. Deoplete sources are python classes that yield lists of 'matches' (some are language specific and some are not). You can make it give you back quite about anything.

(Disclaimer: I wrote deoplete's original version of the "file" source, which completes file paths).
