My main problem is that my work is mostly targeted as MS Windows. And users want the Windows L&F (that is IMHO beautiful anyway). So I have to use more than basic Swing. Add in that I have to support dynamic sizing forms and I quickly leave the basic GUI-Editor capabilities.
Add in requests like "One masks loads, others can be used" etc. and you have to dive deep into the SWING library. It can all be done but a book on SWING easily has 800 useful pages.
I use JBuilder 9 Enterprise currently, tried Eclipse 3 last year when porting a J2EE project to SAP Netweaver and didn't like it, haven't yet tried NetBeans.
Currently I use TableLayout for the dynamics and plastic for the L&F.
