When I'm writing Java/C++/C# yes, I need all the IDE help I can get.
Netbeans or Eclipse being my tools of choice. And in my Windows days
I used Delphi and Smalltalk/V which both pretty much only exist within
their own IDEs and I used their features extensively.

When writing Python I use IDLE, or vim for bigger jobs.
IDLE does have some suggestions and auto tricks but I don't
always use them. In vim I use auto-indent and that's about it.
