Eclipse is the lesser of 2 evil. Still very bloated, at least you get options, and the editor actually autocompletes stuff for you.

Ideally I would pick neither, but under the circumstances my vote is with Eclipse
NetBeans autocompletes too.

One issue I have with NetBeans is that it has a "main project selection" feature, whereby you must select the project you want to deploy to your robot as the "main project." However, when you open a saved project, it does not automatically consider that newly opened project the "main" project, which can cause you to accidentally load the wrong code. Eclipse does away with this "main" project concept.
