May I ask what exactly do you like in Intellij which isn't there in eclipse or netbeans?

I used eclipse for android development, so far I never had any problem I just feel the IDE too slow and the learning curve to do everything I used to do in netbeans was taking time.

For netbeans, my problem is the IDE depends a lot of it's configuration structure, every project is invaded with folders and files of configuration and if you remove/delete something you will be unable to load the project in netbeans.
