I find both mysteriously stop working on a project for a while so I keep them both. Eclipse has far better refactoring. IntelliJ refactors text files that are not Java and can easily break stuff when eclipse refactors are always safe. IntelliJ updates text strings but it's not always correct in doing so, é. G. A comment that says "_don't_ use a.b.C" might get refactored. In eclipse you can often safley "code backwards" i.e. break an API and then fix all the red dots, usually with auto fix options. IntelliJ misses a lot of necessary fixes until you compile. That can add hours of work to a big change.
