Except for the crappy editor in Eclipse (a programmer's editor without macros?!?!?!) it seems to do a pretty good job with the addition of MyEclipse (~$30/yearly) although I've seen a few minor complaints and bugs. Has the same (or similar, perhaps slightly less functional?) features: XML editing and tag completion for XML and JSP, code completion inside JSP, Pretty Good refactoring support.
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.
I think/thought the XRefactor emacs package did code completion--no debugging support that I'm aware of, but the refactoring/completion stuff was satisfactory for me, and the price was low. Emacs is still king :)
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?
You must just be lucky--I haven't had any major Eclipse problems once getting away from the 2.x series, although it is kinda draggy sometimes.
PS what does myeclipse do?
JSP/XML editing/completiong, Struts, etc. support. Cheap and mostly works.
