tried? What are some pros and cons of each? Thanks!

I started with JBuilder 8 Enterprise and Oracle 9i JDeveloper. Then I moved
to Eclipse, IntelliJ IDEA, SunONE Studio. Now I settled with Eclipse. I
like Eclipse for the following reasons:
1. open-source
2. supported by a big consortium
3. has a large user base
4. less overhead (compare to JBuilder, JDeveloper, and SunONE Studio)
5. pure Java
6. has plugin for everything under the sun
Right now, I have a setup of Eclipse with Lomboz plugin, and another setup
of Eclipse with MyEclipse plugin. Both are excellent J2EE plugins. I am
using both because I can't decide which one is better. They are about the
same. The only differences are:
1. the current version of Lomboz may not support Eclipse 2.1.1, which is the
version I am using.
2. MyEclipse has far more superior technical support than Lomboz.
3. MyEclipse costs $30/year and Lomboz is free.
I heard a lot of good thing about NetBeans, but I never have the chance to
use it. So I cannot speak about it. Maybe someone in this newsgroup can
shed some light on it. I sure like to hear the "head-to-head" comparison
between Eclipse and NetBeans.
Hope this helps.

Once you go IntelliJ, you never go back.
It has all the features of Eclipse, plus many more refactoring
options. It has good support for source control, XML, Webapps, etc.
You also get all this functionality without having to dink around with
plugins, though IntelliJ does have a plugin architecture which is used
to integrate JAD, Struts and other interesting components. IntelliJ
is just more usable, too... For example, the most-used commands have
simple CTRL-<something> shortcuts in IntelliJ, where in Eclipse they
are sometimes arcane CTRL-ALT-F<something> shortcuts or (gasp)
sometimes only available in the menu bar.
It's not open source, but when doing enterprise-level developement
$500 a license is a steal. If your company can't afford the $500, use
Eclipse, but don't download the IntelliJ evaluation or you'll be
dissappointed in Ecplise from then on.

Virtually every Eclipse command can be mapped to any kind of key
shortcut you want. Obviously you haven't used Eclipse much (at all?).

I have discarted Zope because from what I've read, the learning curve is
