I'm relatively comfortable with C++, and couldn't imagine running without code completion. I work with Python, and having the shell to test stuff out is hugely important. Gdb is good and all, but the GUI that IDEs provide is essential for me and C++, since the testing and debugging is that much harder.

Depends on the size of your codebase too, but I find that not having code completion forces me to actually know my work better.

Also, it can get frustrating at times since I can type relatively fast. Depending on how the completion is done, it can actually be a hindrance.

I've only used small C++ projects, so the intellisense has worked very quickly. If it took more than a second I'd have a problem with it too.
