Personally, I use vi/vim with ctags most of the time, and occasionally
just use grep and find directly. I generally don't use any
auto-completion other than automatic indentation (I have a tendency to
spend more time fighting with auto-completion than writing code when I
actually try to use it). In general, I would highly recommend not using
an IDE for working on kernel code unless you can setup the
auto-formatting to be compliant with the coding standards.
