I’ve been using eclipse since version 2.0. And very comfortable with all the shortcuts and interface. The main reason I was so addicted to eclipse was because it was cross-platform. Since I use Windows – FreeBSD  dual boot laptop, I could use any of the OS to start and code the stuff. Some time back I tried to move from Eclipse and try other IDEs out there.
First I started with Netbeans when it was in 4.0 release. NetBeans was also really good and stable. Faster than Eclipse. But the it had the "Java" look, and I couldn’t stick with it for longer. The productivity was at stake becuase of lack of knowledge of shortcuts. So, I moved back to Eclipse.

Then I tried working with JDeveloper. This time, I first started with learning shortcuts and understood the project management. Every IDE manages the projects in their own way. And for two days I struggled with bringing the productitvity levels. And when I was ready .. JDeveloper started hanging every now and then. And in just 3 hours I’d to reboot 4 times. It sucked like anything. Then I was planning to move my 200+ class project to into other IDE. It was another big pain. The project dependencies classpath setting. It took almost an hour.

Now, I manage all my projects using IDE – Independent way – Ant! I use ant for firefox extension development too. So I started using ant-scripts for all my projects. I created build scripts independent of all IDEs. Now I can even use notepad/SciTE editor for development.

But as far as the IDEs are concerned,  I’d better stick with Eclipse
