I say it entirely depends on what your programming.  For instance, if
creating a GUI, there is no question that a well developed high quality
IDE is a huge help -- from the point of view of stub generation and code
completion, as well as the GUI designer.

Conversly, if I'm writing a daemon or other text program, it matters
less.  Code completion, syntax verification, and the like is still
useful (hence I use Eclipse -- but others do as well), but not nearly as
mandatory as it would be with other developments.
