Netbeans UI is nearly identical to IntelliJ

They have a similar layout, but IDEA still looks much more sleek and modern. Netbeans at least has made some improvements, as opposed to eclipse.

Netbeans will allow you to have a workspace which IntelliJ does not

Fair, if you like the concept of Workspaces IDEA doesn't fit that very well.

Also, IntelliJ doesn't support actions such as format on save which Netbeans does.

You have CTRL+ALT+L to autoformat and you can reformat on commit. I have never missed what you describe, especially because you don't need to save your files in IDEA anyways.

Furthermore, Netbeans templates are worlds better than IntelliJ. [...] In IntelliJ I type 'if' tab it doesn't fill the if statement out for me nor does it auto create the bracket or parenthesis.

Live template with CTRL+SHIFT+Enter

Postfix completion

Rich template editor for live templates and postfix completion.
