A lot of Swing problems are due to Really Poor Swing coding--properly
coded, Swing is fine.
My experience was similar; IDEA seemed quicker than Eclipse; no doubt
one of those "get what you pay for" type things, although IDEA has been
around longer, so I'm not terribly surprised, despite Eclipse's use of SWT.
It also seems like the new soon-to-be-released version of IDEA will
allow even easier plugin development, probably (at least partially) a
reaction to the Eclipse plugin model. Might have to switch myself,
especially if I can convince (I have to fight for everything, despite
metrics etc. that prove I'm right) the powers to invest in some freakin'
developer tools... *sigh*
