I miss the Eclipse 3.x commit and revert dialogs. The feature I miss the
most is that you cannot just do Revert on the project or a folder.

None of the features related to branching (switch, merge, copy) exist in
2.x. Also there is no way to resolve a conflict from within Eclipse 2.x.

Show Pending Operations is svn status with the -u switch. It is your
local status.

The latest version of TortoiseSVN will remember that setting. Personally,
commit emails are enough for me to know what is incoming. I prefer to
just use update and let Subversion auto-merge the code and create
conflicts if there are any.
So why are you stuck with WSAD? Licensing issues? I thought they had a
reasonable upgrade path to RAD. Have you considered moving to more of an
Eclipse-centric approach? The Eclipse WTP 0.7 milestone is fairly usable
and is based on the WSAD code. There is also stuff like My Eclipse and
others that have reasonable license terms.
