I use eclipse for most of my Serious Work. With most "clever" features turned off. The kind of code-completion that lets me browse a list of partial matches is very useful (e.g. was it foo.bar() or foo.baz()?). Other than that, I like to do my own thinking. I enjoy writing software, not maintaining software that was generated by some tool.

Do I remember every type and every field? Of course not. But my codebases are structured. There are naming conventions in place. I generally have an intuition of where to find things. And of course there are many ways of searching for stuff...
