Eclipse and other Java IDE

[Mr. X.]

Hello,
I am developing java on Eclipse.
The main issue is because Eclipse is free - isn't it.

The other issue - Eclipse doesn't seem so friendly on GUI
(I need visual editor - I don't know if it so so awful, and that I should
not give up Eclipse ...).

I once knew to develop on JBuilder Pro (some years ago - about 2002),
but there was some problems on Hebrew design (program hang when I wrote even
a one letter in Hebrew).

JBuilder Pro isn't freeware, but if I build a start-up, and have an
investor,
the investor will invest in buying the JBuilder Pro ...

I want to know, what are the powerfull & populars Java IDEs, costs,
and what Eclipse main disadvantage ... (and is it realy free ?)

Thanks

For GUI, you dont need the pro version of JBuilder but the free is enought.
