Favorite new features in Eclipse 3.3

Here are some of my favorite new features in Eclipse 3.3:

Text drag & drop - I know the CFEclipse crew had to bend over bakcwards to make it work just for the CFE editor, I'm so glad it's universal now
Show invisible whitespace characters - i couldn't find a button but i can link it to a keyboard shortcut
Editor area drag & drop - drag files, even from outside Eclipse onto the editor area (puts in "filename.ext") or the editor title area (tabbed bar, opens the file)
Automatic spell checker in text editors
Updates to the key shortcut prefs - getting better each time
Hiding that darn main toolbar area
Vista support, including a WPF rendered interface

Did you try to run CFEclipse on it? :)

Plus, it's faster and better multiple monitor support.

Outstanding! I've been jonesing for drag & drop since...well, forever. I love its existence in CFEclipse, but it just pisses me off when I open a different editor and can't use it. I...just...can't...go...back...
