I don't see how it disturbs the tab completion (which I use and like, I 
install bash-completion everywhere I can to make it even more useful). In 
99% of cases, the next editing session should start from the latest saved 
version; I say
emacs foo<tab>
and get my foofile, not foofile~. In 1% of cases, I think: there was a 
really good sentence in foofile~, I was wrong when I deleted it. Then I 
rename foofile~ to something like foofile.previous, load both to emacs and 
copy this sentence to the current version.
