Well I don't mean to start a holy war but in my experience:
- it's faster to get off the disk and hogs less memory
- it's easier to integrate it with build scripts
- it's easier to run and debug test cases
- its static analysis ('code inspections') are better
- my coworkers tell me its refactoring features are better (I don't really use those)
It has good source control integration as well but I imagine Eclipse has that too.
And in the case of being annoyed by prompts to sign in to the machine, it doesn't do that either!

Alright, I might give it a try

InteliJ has a similar feel to Visual Studio while Eclipse works completely differently. For someone who does a lot of .net and only a little Java that's a big theoretical advantage.
Unfortunately Eclipse is the only approved java IDE on some hardened systems I have to use (and "I don't like it" isn't sufficient grounds to justify the work to approve an alternative); and when I started doing Android programming the pain of trying to use the android stuff in anything but eclipse was worse than having to use Eclipse itself. (The latter might not be true any more; but when Google launched Android Studio based on InteliJ a year or so ago it was still an alpha quality product.) As a result I'm currently using Eclipse for all the java I do because I don't do enough of it to justify keeping how both tools work in my head. 
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

I tried IntelliJ about a year or so ago and it was /okay/ but I went back to Netbeans which bugs me but at least it bugs me in a way I know.

I'm seeing the same thing when I visit MSDN. I find a link, click, and then get redirected through a Windows Live signin page, then wait...wait...and then I'm at the page I was after.
Weird and creepy.

The other day my ex-wife posted on FB that she found somebody she like what should I do?
I guess "Leave the poor guy alone" wasn't an appropriate answer? Who woulda knowd?

Dear Dave,
You have indeed been a good boy this year and as a reward I was going to bring you this car but after test driving it I've decided to keep this one and instead you'll be receiving this one[^] for Christmas.
Best wishes,
Santa

Dear Santa.
Thank-you very much for the offer, but please, take your little red noddy car and shove it up your @r$e.
I hope you choke on your mince pies and rudolph pee's in your milk.
Disgruntled,
Dave

Dear disgruntled Dave,
Sorry you don't like your car but I've got my own problems; Mrs. Santa ran off with the UPS guy and wants a divorce and is asking for the toy shop in the settlement, the elves are threatening to strike, the reindeer are getting old and I don't know it they will make it another year, the polar cap is melting and the place is turning into a big ball of slush, I threw a hip out so as a result I don't give a sh*t.
Regards,
Santa

Dear single Santa,
Sorry to hear about your issues with your ex-wife and the delivery man.
Maybe you shouldn't stick the car anywhere, but just hold onto it, you'll need it to get around once your deer peg it. I'll give you a 100 for the reindeer carcass, I have a buyer that will use them in next summer seasons burgers (don't think anyone will notice).
I managed to track down the attorney for your ex-wife and made an offer on the toy shop. Fair price as well, I'll sell it back to you at cost (+expenses+management fee of 25%).
You might be able to move somewhere colder to get away from the slush.
Anyway, all the best big man.
Ho Ho Ho,

Gee that reminds me of a particular Kevin Bloody Wilson song. Still not sure I'm better-off for knowing it. But it sure is a laugh!

Well, I don't know who the driver was, but it definitely wasn't J Clarkson Esq.!

Went to buy the Nexus 5 today on Google Play. Leaves warehouse by 2013-12-11 so I click buy, enter details, even splurge for next day shipping (my phone is broke anyway) Click agree and purchase ... all of the shipping dates "magically change" to 2013-12-16. I click cancel. At least they have the 60 second grace period after clicking buy.
It's funny, the reason I shop online is because they are supposed to have stuff. If I wanted to "wait" for it to be available I could shop retail : )

I tried it few days back and saw a little line stating: "The phone will leave warehouse after 2-3 weeks.". To me, this was OK. I could wait for a while since on play store, it was cheaper.

It isn't the wait, it is the fact that before I clicked place order the leave date was 2013-12-11 and after I clicked pay it "magically changed" to 2013-12-16. In my mind that is deceptive.

|
|
|
|
That's weird. Cause when I tried, this was on first page.

It may have been other people buying faster than you caused all units from that batch to be allocated?
|
|
|
|

No the home page for the order still shows 2013-12-11. Just false advertising by Google, no big deal 
|
|
|
|
|
Or it could be due to caching.

You have to click faster...
