Eclipse has a faster widget toolkit, but it tends to be a lot buggier & dumber about a lot of things. You end up spending a lot more time fiddling with it to work right than NB.
The tradeoff w/NB is that it tends to do the right thing, but is slower. Definitely so on my mac, but the speed difference on Solaris isn't noticeable on my opteron sun box. Also, it comes with some stuff that you have to get separately (sometimes at cost, or with a annoyware freeware version) for eclipse. UML editing comes to mind.
