Emacs for everything. If I start a using a new language I'll hand craft snippets, wire up with any linters or external completion engines and other tools.

If there is no good completion solution, then I'll cheat. Grep to the definition (or jump with tags), open it in a buffer and I can look at what is there. At that point the members are now available for "dumb" textual completion. I'll create helper function to do this.

Give me a few hours and I can match just about any IDE feature. The mechanical parts of the workflow are crazy fast and fluid.
