IDEA is best (and community edition is free), Eclipse comes second. NetBeans
Groovy support hasn't been updated in a long time, hence it's probably the
worst choice.
Eclipse support isn't "very poor". It's quite OK nowadays, especially if you
don't have strict requirements on which Groovy version to use, and none of
your code (or libraries) uses AST transforms. Make sure you use the latest
version of Groovy Eclipse, and ask for help on the (Groovy Eclipse) mailing
list if you have troubles.
Cheers,
Peter

I've never had any trouble whatsoever with NetBeans and maybe they don't have to update it so often because they got it right the first time!
As for Idea, any and all experiences I've heard about it indicate that while it presents a much larger feature set, it's a dog when it comes to resources (mem as well as disk). Personally, I've never liked Idea's user experience and have hated working on it every time I did. And I detest the fact that it has to encode all sorts of crap in its ipr and iml files and make working with a team so much trouble. And before you even suggest it- NO, I will not check the iml/ipr rubbish into my SCM!
Eclipse comes second, I can tolerate it but have fundamental issues with the way SWT works.- dexter
