I can't believe nobody has mentioned the one feature of Netbeans that is completely unrivaled by neither IntelliJ nor Eclipse: the integrated profiler.
Yes, you can use VisualVM. However, it is essentially a standalone version of the Netbeans profiler, that lags behind in terms of features and gives you bad to no IDE integration.
Just to position myself: I started coding Java in Eclipse, and I love its powerful refactoring capabilities but otherwise hate pretty much everything else about it. Then I switched to Netbeans, where I felt way more comfortable, but still got annoyed by the occasional hangs and sluggish response. Now I'm primarily using IntelliJ, which has the best of both worlds in terms of refactoring power, ease of use and interface slickness. However, i still go back to Netbeans from time to time just because of the profiler.
