My biggest problem with IDEs is that they often don't like when I want to do something nonstandard. I've had trouble using git with Eclipse (it works, but I spend more time than I want fooling with it), for example. It's usually faster and simpler to add support for a new programming language or environment to a programmable text editor than to an IDE. Currently I'd say that the best environment for working with Go, is to use sublimetext2 and the GoSublime extension. IDEs are valuable when doing what they were designed for (I use Eclipse when I write Android apps, and I'd probably use Visual Studio if I was going to write something for the MS stack), but I'm rarely doing things that fit nicely into their world, and I end up spending more time fighting with them than they are worth. That's just for me though. Also: you can get completion in many text editors if you install the right plugins. See the GoSublime extension that I mentioned for example.
