I prefer IntelliJ for Java development, although Eclipse or NetBeans are both good tools. IntelliJ has better (IMHO) code completion, macro and refactoring capabilities, but the difference is probably just that I've used IntelliJ more. If I had to pick one feature that stands out it is the refactoring.

IntelliJ is a commercial product but they have a policy of making it available to open source projects at no cost (which I've been the beneficiary of).
