1) *Fast* on-the-fly syntax checking. When it works and is fast (Komodo), I find it incredibly useful, when it's too slow (Eclipse), it can ruin your day. 2) *Configurable* code completion. Again, when done right, it can speed up your typing immensely, but when done in such a way that it constantly interferes with your typing, so you end up with syntax errors (did someone say Eclipse again?), you should be able to turn it off easily. 3) Extensible with a scripting language, preferably Python, of course. I especially like to implement scripts which are able to manipulate the current selection and reinsert the result (e.g. for sorting sections in non-standard ways, or reformatting text to ReST syntax, etc.). 4) File templates and code snippet insertion with placeholders, so I can, say enter "function <name>", hit a shortcut and get a full function with the name '<name>'. 5) Easy transferring of settings between different installations of the IDE. I work on many computers and I want my IDE to behave the same everywhere. 6) A really good and fast "Search&Replace" function with regular expression support and group substitution. If it works across several files, even better! These are just the most important things of the top of my head. I could go on and on...
