Why use Intellij or what to do during the assessment

Question

I downloaded IntelliJ IDEA and started with a 30-day evaluation.

Now I'm just wondering why I should use IntelliJ for plain old java development (so there is no Hibernate, JSP, etc.)? This is not like differs from eclipse or NetBeans, so I hope one of the IntelliJ gurus can give some examples of what IntelliJ can do to justify investing in it. I am trying to use the full assessment and do not want to miss an important function.

The list of things available in IntelliJ, but not in eclipse , is already available, but I'm more interested in the daily workflow than some obscure features that will be used twice a month.
