Variable completion for me is the huge win. This is the biggest time saver that I have ever had, and the biggest reason I use CFB.
Secondly is the integrated debugger. I pull this out when I need to debug some seriously complex code, and it's a g-d send. It's one of those tools that you may not need 90% of the time, but those 10% you do need it, it's awesome. Extensions are very useful. Crazy useful in fact (especially looking at what they have demo'd in CFB2). Being able to right click on a folder/file in an IDE and make your IDE do something is very useful. I've written at least 1 extension that has saved me hours of work. That all being said - CFEclipse is free, both IntelliJ and CFB have trials. Give them all a shot for a few days of development. See which one fits you.
