I like IDEA a lot but I ended up going back to Eclipse because it's so much better at hotswap than IDEA. It's baffling to me that the talented engineers at JetBrains still force me to restart my servers all the time for changes that are explicitly documented in the JLS as hotswappable. I restart servers all the time throughout the days, all the nice things that IDEA offers still do not make up for the fact that in Eclipse, I hardly have to restart any process ever as long as the changes I made to my Java code are hotswappable. There's that and the fact that Eclipse's incremental compilation is hard to give up (another thing I don't understand why IDEA hasn't caught up to). At any rate, anyone who says that one of these two IDE's is awesome while the other one sucks probably needs to take a hard look at the way they work and question their skill at assessing tools.
