I seem to be caught between two IDEs: Eclipse and IntelliJ. I abandoned Eclipse a couple of years back, partly based on wide spread recommendations from many different people, and partly because Eclipse just stopped working for me (it crashed out).

It was a little bit "blah blah blah *cough* Tapestry" but as an Eclipse/IntelliJ user it was still helpful.

If you worked on any large corporate projects you would find that all java IDEs cost thousands of dollars in lost productivity.

What current java IDE can also be used as an editor? NONE. Try associating java files with netbeans, intellij, or eclipse.

Then wait as the IDE throws you a 30 second splash screen to open a single file.

This is not what developers need or want not to mention how eclipse hoses your real build in favor of its internal one
spewing unresolved compilation exceptions into class files without you reallly knowing.

There is a huge disconnect between what developers need to be productive and this supposed enterprise software.
Its not javas fault. Its the IDE makers lack of creativity.
