Development Environment

I'm a long-time Eclipse user for my java/web development. But if you look closely at the screenshots I've posted, you'll see I'm using Netbeans for developing Chess Juice. Now I'm not trying to start an IDE holy war here, but what made me use Netbeans for this project? Basically it's Netbean's context-sensitive support for CSS3, HTML5, and javascript - from my experience, it just blows Eclipse away in these areas. I prefer a lot of Eclipse's other features over Netbeans, however, and I use Eclipse at my real job so I won't be completely switching to Netbeans anytime soon. Still, Chess Juice is a lot of HTML5, CSS3, and javascript development, so right now for this project I'm really enjoying Netbeans a lot.
