Code completion, syntax validation, and built-in API documentation are useful features. To say they're things that only beginners or bad programmers use is absurd. I have much better things to do with my time than memorize the exact name and parameter order of every method in an API. I primarily use Vim as my IDE, so I'm not saying I prefer Eclipse or other IDEs. But I don't pretend that Vim is perfect and using an IDE is a sign of inability.
