Eclipse or Netbeans?

[MonstaThrilla]

I'm an undergrad CS student, and for the last several years I've been using Emacs + Command Line for Java development. I want to branch out into a graphical IDE, so I've been contemplating these two choices. I'm particularly interesting in which has better GUI capabilities. My understanding is that NetBeans has a Form Builder but Eclipse does not. Conversely, Eclipse offers the more powerful SWT API for GUI building. Looking briefly, I think I like NetBeans more, but what's everyone's opinion on the matter?

I've used a little of both - I've really liked Netbeans for the GUI support, but Eclipse does have a myriad of plugins. Currently using NB especially for that reason.

Having used Eclipse for a fair while now, I'm inclined to say I wouldn't use anything else given the option. I also do some C/C++ dev, and having the Java and Tomcat plugins is really nice if you are doing a lot of different kinds of dev in a given shop (ie: JSP/servlets one week, GUI-based another week, etc).
