In reverse order: IDE: people use many different ones ;) I still like emacs, and I occasionally use Eclipse, but I wouldn't pay for an IDE ;) Upgrade difficulty: depends on how compliant your app is with the servlet specification. This is true for all containers. The more compliant you are, the easier your upgrade path. In general if you use a version of tomcat after 4.1.18 (when the invoker servlet became commented out), you should not have a hard time upgrading. Advantages: 5.x is faster, more reliable, has more features, and is being actively developed.
