Ubuntu is more functional and integrated for the desktop out of the box. 
CentOS is Red Hat Enterprise Linux in disguise, which is awesome for 
servers but for which desktops have not been a focus point for a while. 
Recently, RHEL has announced a "return to the desktop" but this will 
likely not materialize in the CentOS/RHEL 5 series.

NetBeans can be flunky with regards to output windows (how to reopen a 
Mongrel window after its been accidentally closed?), has a really slow 
CSS editor, and has poor syntax parsing. But when I recently tried 
Aptana Studio it wouldn't even launch on a fresh install, and the latest 
release of RadRails isn't compatible with Eclipse 3.4. That pretty much 
sways the decision in favor of NetBeans.
