I'll concur, as I've been getting quite comfy using Netbeans. If Netbeans gets hung out to dry, it does mean going back to Eclipse (I'm not really into the idea of buying an IDEA license).
Actually, the new IDEA 9 now has a free, open-source version, with most of what you'll want. There's still a commercial version with some more features enabled.

NetBeans' profiler is great though. IDEA doesn't have any - I use YourKit, a 3rd-party commercial profiler.
