I find the opposite, intellisense / autocomplete keep me in the zone, especially IntelliJ's postfix completion.

When I have to type out boilerplate or long names, my brain kind of goes into a mini-sleep mode.

SomeSuperAbstractSingletonFascadeGodJavaIsVerbose thing = new SomeSuperAbstractSingletonFascadeGodJavaIsVerbose(arg, anotherArg);

If I can just tab-complete, I'm done.

Plus, I've only got so much brain-RAM. I do not want to waste it memorizing methods (except for a very select few that are ubiquitous, like .length(), .toString(), etc.)
