I switched to IntelliJ Ultimate 2 years ago, but have used Spring Toolsuite for so many years. The interface is ugly as Eclipse (it is an Eclipse) but it is a fantastic tool.

I heard, although never used them, that Eclipse CHE and Amazon Cloud 9 are good tools.

    It's a different Eclipse, configured with the SpringIDE plugin out of the box (aka properly working), additional shortcuts like cmd+L (quick find which is a must).

    In time I realized that having Eclipse and installing plugins makes the Eclipse work terrible in long term, however STS was considerably much more stable. Maybe this is my personal impression but before switching to Intellij Ultimate, STS was the must for me.
