> prefer NetBeans because it's a more intuitive, less busy interface?
I would second that. Version 6 should be even speedier and more integrated.
I use Eclipse occasionally and I find that I spend too much time picking plug-ins and figuring out how to to use them.
Web/JSF development, profiling... is buitt right into NetBeans and these tools are arguably the best of their kinds.
Believe it or not, most men aren't thrilled about getting call at 1AM (unless it's a booty call).
Many medium-size companies have 'Operations' staffs which handle routine IT problems. If you absolutely hate the mid-night phone calls, make sure you ask about them before accepting the job.
It's true that you don't see many women in the technical side of IT anymore. All 14 of my co-developers are male ^_^

Second that. I myself am a Miranda fan.
