Yes, that's of course how you should do it if you were looking for something specific. But I'm not, at least not just now.
What I'd like to get from this thread is as many suggestions as possible to compare them, see how they work, and make my own decisions. Probably use one for some project, and another one for something completely different.
I left my requirements out from the OP for a reason.
There are heaps of articles comparing different IDEs, but quite often, the question is attacked with a certain bias. Some developers value simplicity; some value turnkey solutions; some value extensibility...you get the idea.
If you're looking mainly for one for you to use, maybe provide some details on what you're hoping to develop in/on/for.
If you're mainly looking for suggestions so that you can compare them (and get a nice one as a side benefit), again do some research, and see if you can find common areas between the offerings, and compare on those. Anything that's not common, treat as either a unique feature/functionality, or as a minus, or as something that might influence niches of developers.
