I've never had IDEA freeze on me. Eclipse may offer those (I wasn't aware of it) but you would have to tinker around to configure it, I really prefer simplicity to a mountain of configuration to get it working the way I want. Eclipse is more of a platform, its great for some things since companies have built plugins for all sorts of things (like the Drools visual editor, for example), its fine for this sort of thing but as a regular code editor I find I prefer to use something that is more simplified and limited, not something that is essentially trying to be a platform.
