You may want to try Netbeans 4.1 RC2. Refactoring still not as strong as Eclipse but most of the stuff you need is out-of-the-box: JSP syntax support, tomcat, iplanet app server etc, so there is less plug-in to download.

I used to code with emacs, without code completion or debugging or whatever, and I managed fine - now I code in Eclipse and I have all the whizz bang plug-ins like maven and cvs and xmlspy and I've got the Problems List which highlights the code causing errors, plus I can refactor, BUT.... I waste so much time, hours and hours when it goes wrong. Sometimes it will never stop and I am doomed to have these time-wasting issues with Eclipse plug-ins not working together, or just not installing, or Java 5 bugs or whatever. Progress I guess. I'd like to know whether these kinds of issues affect IDEA users. When was the last time you spent a whole morning trying to get tomcat to run inside Eclipse, or an hour a day for a week fighting to get Maven menus to appear? This must be the bleeding edge, right?
