Several years ago I switched to Eclipse from IDEA, because I was developing Eclipse-based IDE. I still own IDEA license, periodically upgrade it and do some tasks there, but cannot switch back on fulltime. Currently I'm using latest STS package being very productive in it and I don't experience the slowness (well, not more often than in IDEA), bugs or usability issues that are mentioned in this article. It's definitely not the right tool for some of the tasks, but, in general, "don't use" is a too emotional and irrelevant advice.
