I've been a long time license holder but only recently, in the last year, have I been able to use IDEA as my main IDE. Important things for me: 1) Maven integration is very slick 2) Groovy plugin is really nice 3) Really good analysis and re-factoring tools I use OS X (leopard) and at first IDEA 7 was buggy. That is mostly resolved now except for a weird quirk when using Leopard's spaces. I blogged about it and a good workaround here: http://devilelephant.blogspot.com/2008/03/intellij-idea-os-x-leopard-spaces.html I agree with your review.

Since the first book was written, NetBeans has progressed from a tool with promise (from a small, young company in the Czech Republic) to one of the market leaders in the open source IDE tools space. It's been like watching a child grow and mature over the years and blossom in ways you could have never predicted. It's a bit like watching Java grow. At first it was a language for the Internet and browsers. It was so versatile, people started using it in many ways. It developed into a great language for writing multitier applications. And then with J2EE, it created a whole new ecosystem of enterprise applications. Later, J2ME conquered the phone and mobility market. NetBeans has been through a similar, multifaceted growth. With NetBeans IDE 4.1, one tool can manage the range of Java development. The IDE now adds J2EE EJB and web services development to the rich suite of development capabilities that service J2SE and J2ME. I use NetBeans for all my Java development. The exciting new language features in J2SE 5.0 are fun to use and easy to develop with. One of the things that's nice for me personally is that with each release, once I download it, it is ready to go. I don't have go on a treasure hunt and assemble a particular set of plug-ins for me to begin development—as soon as I install NetBeans, I'm ready to start coding. The PR people at Sun like to call me "the Father of Java." Given that, NetBeans must be my first techno-grandchild. Enjoy all that NetBeans IDE 4.1 provides and the worlds it opens for you. Happy programming. James Gosling May 2005 By James Gosling

Just like you I did finf version 7.01 is very responsive. quite quick. I am also very please to have made the transition. Ok, I have a new machine under Vista, so it did ease the performance level from my old machine. But still no dought about this : 7 is a very well tested version.

I have tried it on OSX 10.5 and switched back to IntelliJ 6.0.6 after just a couple hours. I found it extremely buggy and much slower. Given that 10.5 is pretty new and the included Java version also seems to have a couple major swing implementation changes, I cannot blame Jetbrains .. hopefully there will be another update made available soon.
