As already mentioned, JBuilder has had refactoring for a while and
ModelMaker Code Explorer adds refactoring to Delphi.

Then you have:
- Castalia also adds refactoring (and more) to Delphi.
- Together for Visual Studio adds refactoring (and more) to VS2003.
- Eclipse (open source IDE started by IBM)
- IntelliJ IDEA (another Java IDE)
- There is some discussion in the SharpDevelop community about adding
refactoring but it isn't available yet as far as I know

And there are any number of other IDEs and add ons. The idea of
refactoring as a "best practice" has been around for a while, and I'm
glad our development tools are helping to make the mechanics easier.
