Thats not true. Code completion works with GWT Plugin, on java classes, native javascripts methods and uibinder tags... (https://www.jetbrains.com/idea/help/gwt.html)
Last year I started using Intellij after 9 years using Eclipse and I can say that IntelliJ rocks in many aspects(specially IntelliJ Ultimate)! Developers are not the only one saying that, nowadays many companies are migrating IDE (Android Studio, for example) and there has to be a good reason for that! Im my opinion, IntelliJ is more modern, and has a kind of 'text editor' feeling.... It doesnt 'build workspace' all the time like eclipse and thats make IntelliJ faster to develop... Anyway, there are lots of topics talking about the difference between then if you are interested, but I dont know anyone who rather Eclipse after starts using IntelliJ ...not saying that Eclipse is bad, far from that!! Eclipse is good and have plugins to anything! But the IDE itself stopped on time a long time ago... I dont remember any substancial new eclipse feature in years!
