The simplicity of the open source Arduino IDE is great, but a bit limiting sometimes – I like to use Netbeans for instance for other work that I do. Do any plugins exist for more fully featured IDEs that would allow me to develop for the Arduino (and directly upload / run code on it?) So far my searches haven't brought much up.

At the risk of sounding like a broken record...
PSoC5 is your answer! (It's amazing how many times PSoC is the answer)
The PSoC5 MCU has an ARM Cortex M3 core, and a bunch of other brilliant features that practically no other MCU has. Unlike other MCUs, setting up the peripherals is as fun as eating ice cream, and you can even create your own in Verilog! The IDE is pretty good, and totally free.
The Development Kit is great, and full of features and comes with the programmer, which you can use for your future projects. It's not too expensive.
Arduino sends a bunch of NUL bytes after it resets. Also the buffers of your PC will probably have data from previous sessions in them, you have to flush these. Also I chose to start using frames with a preamble for communication between PC and Arduino. That way you can easily lock onto the data stream. I've written a couple of Perl scripts for this: cat_ttyUSB

You can use CodeBlocks for arduino. CodeBlocks already works with quite a few microcontrollers, so I'm guessing that the arduino dev environment will be quite robust.
There is also an Eclipse plugin for Arduino.
