Much less of a resource hog was the first big thing I noticed. Also the 
support for CSS and JS in NetBeans was a biggie. Having code completion 
on JQuery has been a life saved. I tried getting it to work with Aptana 
installed in Eclipse but never could.

But the biggest benefit came a couple days after I started testing it 
out. I found the Drupal plugin for NetBeans:

https://nbdrupalsupport.dev.java.net/

Now coding is that much more streamlined. No more going through and 
manually creating .module and .info files. Can't remember a hook? It 
adds a hook palette in so you got them all right there.

It did take a little getting used to. For example, if I want to go to a 
function declaration I can no longer hit F3. Now I control-click it. 
Little things like that, but once I got used to it I have been very happy.
