Answer 1

I've always been a fan of using Eclipse+PDT with Cake, as it supports completion quite well.

See: Code Completion for CakePHP in Eclipse

It's also worth noting that at least one of the main developers of CakePHP uses Eclipse (I know this because he wrote the above-linked article).

Answer 2

you should not only select IDEs because of their autocomplete functionality.

I only know PHPDesigner which handles it pretty well. All IDEs need a file where the specific rules for the framework can be found, though. Otherwise they would not know how to autocomplete some classes.
