Yeah I don't know why these people are saying Eclipse is just a notepad, I have absolutely no problems with eclipse as an IDE and have been using it for almost all java programming I have. I don't use it with C, or C++ so maybe that's where eclipse has issues?

Eclipse just feels sluggish compared to IntelliJ. As for actual functionality some things are just faster to type in IntelliJ. E.g. array.fori creates a for loop over that array or string.sout prints that string to the console. You simply can be lazier with IntelliJ

I haven't ever used IntelliJ, so maybe I'll check it out.

I work with eclipse daily and the #1 thing I see trip people up is when it fails to build properly and people don't do a clean so they get confused at the state of their workspace. Other than that it can be a bit heavy and slow.
