What do you dislike about BlueJ?

There are other tools like eclipse and intellij that are far more advanced than BlueJ in terms of number of features that are provided. They have many useful features like auto-suggestion and other plug-ins that I think BlueJ needs to catch up on. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"BlueJ: An old fashioned IDE for Java"
3.5/5

What do you dislike about BlueJ?

BlueJ lacks many features that most other IDEs in the market have such as it has no code completion, its appearance cannot be customized and also it cannot be used to make large projects, it can only be used to write beginner friendly code. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"BlueJ is a user friendly Java IDE"
4/5
What do you like best about BlueJ?

The thing which I loved most about BlueJ is the fact that it is very simple to use and comes with an integrated debugger. The fact that BlurJ is an open source software is a cherry on the cake. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BlueJ?

BlueJ does not have an extensive plugin ecosystem like Visual Studio Code. Also, BlueJ is not a good choice for development of extensive projects as it is an education focused software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
