I have a hobby project that turned into a fairly successful commercial project. I hardly use any IDE features. Sometimes, I write a new utility function like "get_abc_from_xyz_index" only to discover I already wrote it a year ago in the file I chose to put it in. So not only is the project well organized, but it's all me so I'm very familiar with it. Lots of tests. I also type extremely fast so unless autocomplete is perfectly tuned, it can just be annoying handling various languages and maybe on different machines. HTML tag closing is a good example of an annoyance.
Since I've been doing this for years, it bleeds into my work too, where compared to my peers I tend to use fewer dependencies and IDE features.
