I use quite a few of the Save Actions, including the removal of unnecessary casts, but I guess formatting and import optimization are the only two I'd really miss. One thing that's really nice with the formatting in Eclipse 3.4+ is that you can restrict it to lines that you already changed, which is great if you work on projects where the Eclipse formatter might otherwise change unrelated code that is perfectly ok within the boundaries of the established style guide. You don't make friends by reformatting other people's code unless it is explicit part of the project culture. In some of the projects I work on the Eclipse formatter replaces the style guide, but often it is a bit more complicated.
