I use NetBeans with Cake and haven't seen any serious shortcomings on
code completion, can you elaborate ? My only complaint with the PHP
support in NB has been that it feels a bit like a bolt-on, but as the
past has shown I'm sure the NB team will continue to rapidly improve
that.

There's also a request (that I think people should vote for) to have
Cake added to NetBeans, which would make things even easier.
