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.
