As someone who uses both VS and IntelliJ IDEA regularly, the latter is superior. VS with ReSharper comes close, but raw VS has comedic support for refactoring when compared with IDEA. In my experience, if you haven't tried IDEA, it's best not to claim VS's superiority. I mean, just look at the ReSharper page. All of those things are missing from VS for C# but not IntelliJ for Java. Frankly, the two are simply not comparable. Edit: Rereading, this seems combative. It isn't meant to be. Just try IntelliJ if you're working with Java. It's really good. I hope its features come to other IDEs as well.
