I tried Flashbuilder 4.7 for a few days as well, this release is a total embarassment. The very first .as file I opened resulted in an exception, so I couldn't even edit a file. I'm having a creeping feeling that 4.7 will be the last ever FB release, I don't think Adobe is really interested in maintaining it. IntelliJ is probably the best choice, but as folks already said, the workflow takes a little getting used to. FDT will probably be easier because its also Eclipse based, therefore the terminologies and structures will be more familiar to you. But taking the time to learn IntelliJ will pay off in the end, it'll make you a happy developer again :)
