<rushed comment> I don't agree; I've been flipping between netbeans and eclipse for the last 2 years for a number of reason (clients choice, IDE strength etc..) and haven't found too much hassle in switching betwean IDE's, even mid-project. <rushed comment>Once you go down certain routes you can get 'tied' to a particular IDE (e.g. using matisse for swing), but generally they do the basics the same and learning new key strokes comes quickly. When I have the choice I use eclipse for basic 'code' projects - the DAO backend etc.. and Netbeans for integrated applications (servlets/JSP, swing, mobile) because eclipse still outclasses netbeans on ease and speed of coding and netbeans outclasses eclipse on the integrating out the box just works kind of thing.
