I use Eclipse. Earlier I was sticking to EditPlus. I was very comfortable with it. My other team menbers are using Eclipse and we needed a standard environment to work as the client required that I started using Eclipse. First it was very boring to use it as it takes time to start up, open a file etc. Then I learned that it have lot of features. Some are 1. Shows which code is using a method,constructor, variable in the project. It is very important as we are working on a maintenance project. 2. Package Explorer - which shows the class files in a package in a hierarchy and we can see the members of that class. 3. Built in CVS support with SSH - This is imortant to connect to remote servers and there are hardly any other free tools for windows platform. 4. Can set the editor to use spaces instead of tab. 5. Integrates with Ant. 6. It is free.
The cons are 1. No way to save a file in another platforms line ending character. ie. I cant save a file created in windows in Linux format. 2. Can't type in CVS commands from a command prompt. 3. is slow even on a system with 512 MB RAM.
You have to choose an IDE based whether it satisfies your requirements. Usually it will be requirements of the project you are working with.
