Bizarrely the single feature that fails for me in Eclipse, NetBeans and
IntelliJ IDEA that I find the single most problematic feature in my
programming life -- which means Emacs remains the one true editor -- is
formatting comments.  I seemingly cannot survive without the ability to
reformat the paragraphs of comment blocks to a given width.  Emacs
handles this trivially in all languages I use for the modes I have.  The
IDEs seem unable to provide the functionality.  Usually they end up
reformatting my entire file to some bizarre formatting that is not the
one set up for the project.  I appreciate that being able to trivially
create properly formatted comments is probably uniquely my problem
but . . .
