Unfortunately, I have to disagree. I find that continuous refactoring is one of the most important practices at software development (unless you're going to publish an API that must be stable and back-ward compatibile, which BTW doesn't mean you can't still apply continuous refactoring to the implementation). Thus, an IDE must support refactoring in a proper way. As you said, Eclipse is superior in this area, even though NetBeans has got all the fundamentals and in the end I don't miss the missing parts a lot. The point about better refactoring has been pushed recently by the NetBeans Dream Team. BTW, it's not that Sun didn't address the thing in the past: there were Project Jackpot, that was later abandoned I think for performance reasons.
