alt+insert provides suggestions: make getters/setters, add hashCode+equals, etc. If i just write a method name with parameters, i have to use the mouse to make it offer to create the method for me. wtf. eclipse has a simple ctrl+1 and off we go.
Arrow keys work in that menu though.

autocomplete: case sensitive by default (there is an option to make it insensitive, but really...?). when is insensitive provides bullshit, i have to type most of the class name anyway.
You can only search for the capital letters in CamelCase notation, too. If you have a class called DickButtFaggortryFactoryManager, you can start typing DBFFM and it finds it for you. With some intelligence, in that if you had worked with a DickButtFaggortryFactoryManager before, it's probably the first choice.

git support: it actually requires the native git to be installed. really? wtf? the version control ui is unintuitive and a complete mess. i always had to use the command line since i couldnt get along with the ui.
Setting up git is a bit of a pain in the rear end, but the diffs and merging in general are VERY nice.

when i hover over a method doesn't show the javadoc. read about it as being a requested feature some time ago, apparently they've implemented it, never worked for me (used only the linux version).
ctrl-q?

cannot apparently format the current file according to the set code style.
ctrl-shift-L?


Eclipse is just different in some other aspects, can't really do a huge comparison since it's been years since I used it.
