Netbeans has always impressed me. It's a very solid IDE, but I moved away from it after they decided to ditch more and more non-java language support. I'd still pick it over Eclipse though. IntelliJ is my current tool of choice, mostly due to their Scala support.

The official Scala IDE is Eclipse based though (http://scala-ide.org/ http://scala-ide.org/) and I trust that people who develop the language itself are best suited to develop the IDE as well. Plus I hate the fact that both Netbeans and IntelliJ are developed on top of Swing and it has that forever-not-fixed issue with font rendering on some major linux distros - Ubuntu just to name one. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/15053069/netbeans-on-ubuntu-font-look-and-feel http://stackoverflow.com/questions/15053069/netbeans-on-ubun...

  Except their plugin tends to not play nice with other ones, like the Groovy one. So in the end, one needs multiple Eclipse installations for different types of work.

    Uh what? I use the groovy plugin and scala ide plugin just fine and a bunch of others.

      It might be the case now. I had lots of issues with JDT and aspects being used by both plugins last year. Since then I always use separate installations.

  I've tried both and the IntelliJ plugin is much more polished.
