Opinions on best IntelliSense IDE/Complier

I currently am using Microsoft Visual C++ Express. I'm a hobbyist programmer, so it meets my needs to create relatively simple projects and of course, it's free and well resourced.

However, the IntelliSense occasionally does odd things or doesn't work properly. Also, I get irritated being able to see all the private variables and methods for my classes (aesthetics, i know, not technically a problem).

In your opinions, what IDE or compiler has the best IntelliSense system for it's C++ code? I'm looking for a new IDE, but again, my focus is on IntelliSense because for the programs I'm creating, they all pretty much meet my programming needs.
Well, there's only one IDE that has IntelliSense, and that's Visual Studio. ;-)

Although VS's autocomplete system is not flawless, IMO it's the best out there. I don't have a Mac, so I've never used Xcode, but I'd like to try it to see how Apple has used Clang to improve the IDE's autocomplete system. Sharing code between the IDE and the compiler is a clever solution; it ought to be pretty good.
