Eclipse vs IntelliJ

In the spirit of healthy dialogue, I’m looking for a whole series of reviews of IntelliJ IDEA 6.0. If you know of any reviews or comparisons involving IDEA 6.0, feel free to comment on this post, and include the links!

The good, the bad, and the ugly are all appreciated!

Enjoy! http://trusoftware.blogspot.com/2006/11/eclipse-vs-intellij-idea.html

    1. Somehow biased (I wonder why ;)!) http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/library/os-ecidea/
