Eclipse has support for server integration. With apache you are just deploying 
files to the htdocs section.

eclipse has this already

svn, cvs and a host of others as plugins. also it has team sync which is 
probably the one piece of eclipse that is killer.

multiple projects and support for project relationships. there is also 
perspectives that are great too for setting up your ide then way you like it.

eclipse support import and export for various locations.

eclipse allows you to create shortcuts and other key bindings and auto completes 
like a mad man. i also really like the formatting capabilities as well.

Eclispe has support for other languages too with plugins - allows me to work in 
pretty much every lang that i use in my toolbox and the export/import of the 
config is great...i can move to additional machines without issues.

Here are some other plugins that i use:

dpt (database tools)
wpt (web tools)
pydev
rdt
target management
jdt
subclipse
mylyn (task management)
pdt
cdt

just to name a few.
