I've seen a lot of support for IntelliJ... is it that much better than Eclipse to justify the price?

The community edition is free and open source, I use it every day, it blows eclipse away in every way.

I'll definitely check it out! How, specifically, does it improve on Eclipse?

Its much faster, more organized, better android support, cleaner ui, better code auto complete, really nice git features, its just awesome.
