I have been an eclipse user for over 8 years and finally had enough of the sluggishness and general flakiness. Our development group switched to IntelliJ and all I can say is we aren't going back. Currently we are on 11.x although at home I use 12. 12 isn't stable enough for production yet but it has some nice features such as SuperDevMode support and JDK 8 Closures. One nice feature is that it shows anonymous inner classes in JDK 8 format which is much cleaner and less verbose. Obviously, this is just cosmetic as it works fine on JDK6 and with GWT.
I installed a theme to get the same syntax coloring as Eclipse and also a plugin that does automatic makes each time a file is changed. This makes it feel somewhat similar to eclipse.
