Eclipse latest version is kepler. Even though we doesn't noticed much updates on previous juno version of eclipse, you might have experienced kepler is more stable than ever. They have been upgraded lot of their back end services but not interfaces.
With latest version of Intellij IDEA has done a massive upgrade to the existing IDE back end and front end. When I'm writing this blog Intellij IDEA 13 is the latest version from jetbrains. Even though this is not a complete free software as eclipse, but free edition of IntellijIDEA have ability to do a pretty decent job for the developers.
IntellijIDEA is pretty famous between Android developers because Android developer website officially launched a android studio tool developed on IntellijIDEA. Also new look and feel of the IDE attracts many developers from Eclipse. If you really interested in new interface of IntellijIDEA you can refer my previous post on changing interface on Eclipse IDE to change your existing Eclipse IDE bit more attractive like IntellijIDEA.
If we compare the usability and functionality wise there are no big difference between eclipse and IntellijIDEA. Both IDE can do a amazing job. Both are pretty stable and has high usability standards, Both needs same system requirements. Both can be run on many os platforms like windows or linux.
But Eclipse has the biggest community ever when we compare with the other existing IDEs in the field.
VS
My personal opinion is, if you are comfortable with Eclipse no point of moving to IntellijIDEA, because it's same all the time. It's not worth to pass through a learning cycle for IntellijIDEA.
