I have been using Eclipse on and off for about 1 1/2 years, and I'm very happy with the way it works. However, I've heard since I started programming more than 5 years ago that Eclipse copied most of its features from IntelliJ IDEA. So, finally I downloaded a trial version of the IDE this morning and I have barely used yet and I'm having a heck of a time trying not to think how Eclipse would have done something. But from what I've seen so far, it includes plenty of features that I would like Eclipse to have.
My question then is: for a college student working on small-to-medium sized projects is IntelliJ worth the $100 for the academic version or should I just stick with Eclipse for the time being, until I really need the productivity features?

As a college student, none of them worth the price, I've had no luxury of using any of them back then and I was OK with it.
