You'd probably be the only person using an IDE for development in Picolisp.
The main author does (or at least did) a lot of development on a tablet, with his own software keyboard (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.software_la... , which I've enjoyed for years on my handhelds, in part due to the tmux-arpeggio), and his own editor (https://picolisp.com/wiki/?vip ). I think most of us do something similar, using vim or vip, maybe on larger computers, but generally a pretty minimal setup.
The REPL has string based completion, besides completing symbols it will also complete file paths. Development is heavily REPL based, you'd spend a lot more time inspecting the runtime than searching for string occurrences in files.
From the REPL you'd also read the language reference, most likely in w3m, the preferred text web browser in this community. (doc 'macro) will open the reference on this entry if you started the REPL with 'pil +', where the + is a flag denoting debug mode. You can expect the web GUI framework to work rather well in w3m.
