Why do people still use eclipse instead of the superior IntelliJ platform?

Maybe it's the $200 US price tag.  That's a bit steep when there are freebies available to do much the same thing, doncha thimk?  Yeah, it's free for open source development, according to JetBrains, but just how do they define open source?  I've seen some pretty iffy offers from JetBrains, and their support, at least in my experience, has been less than stellar.

Tuxman:
I never needed support for eclipse, so I can't really tell much about the difference here.

Josh:
Honestly, I am contemplating a move to Oracle's JDevelop. It is far superior in terms of usability. I am holding off until the release of 12c with mobile support built in. Right now, you have to install ADT and a few other things to get mobile support, and even then it is kind-of clunky.

Tuxman:
IDEs mostly written in slow Java make me puke. Generally. (I wonder what IntelliJ is built upon.)
Never seen a good application starting with a capital J.

edit:
JDeveloper, not JDevelop, right?
