I've recently switched to this IDE. It's pretty popular but with all the alternatives I was wondering if any of you used it.

No, but I used to. It is pretty good for some things.

Mostly it was the autocompletion/refactoring support, which may still beat anything else out there. At least, it did for Java development; most other languages didn't have anything quite that impressive, since the logic behind that is inherently language-specific, and Java was the main/original aim of the IDE if I recall.
The project system/plug-in support were also pretty strong but not quite so exceptional.

I use it when I have to write Java code.
