Yes, and some of the plugins cannot be gotten in that quality from free
offerings.
You get good Hibernate reverse engineering, you get javascript
debugging, excellent Spring support (you simply drag a class into the
springconfig.xml, or you can map the hibernate settings directly into
the spring xml)
some of this stuff is buggy (like the javascript debugger)
but for me it simply is the additional value over the standard plugins
and that you can avoid plugin hell.
