NetBeans 6 has auto-formatting of regions, auto-indenting when pressing 
Enter key, different indent settings for start lines and continuations, 
option to reformat comment blocks, option to format HTML within RHTML 
blocks.

And probably much more. I'm still very much a NB student, learning new 
NB tricks every day. Today I learned about autowarn (and auto-fix) for 
camelCase variables, or for constants that lacks all-caps, etc. But the 
coolest one today was to press Ctrl+Shift+Space (on Windows) when I'm in 
a comment, I get an instant RDoc version of that comment block displayed 
in a window. Great time saver!
