I don't care to argue about the superiority or inferiority of each product; I'll just say that after trying Xcode, Eclipse, and IntelliJ (and after having used Visual Studio since version 2.0), IntelliJ was the one product that made intuitive sense to me. I assume that this is because its paradigm is similar in many ways to Visual Studio, not because it's inherently better.
I will, however, stand by my observation that NDK development in Eclipse is no fun at all. That isn't necessarily the fault of Eclipse.
