"Netbeans, a good Java IDE, but for others, poor"
I like two things mainly, the way you can create GUIs, and the way it works for Java, is my main IDE when I'm working with Java.

I like the most is that it has a multi-stage language. The code that is written in java is perused by a mediator, so your program will deal with any stage.

What do you like best about NetBeans?

The best thing about Netbeans is its plugin for the autocomplete that works brilliantly for the development of applications in the languages of Java and PHP. (They are the ones that I have tried, I do not know how it works for other languages.) Also, the great facility for the creation of UI (Graphical Interfaces) in java because its designer is very intuitive and you offer different layers to create the forms. (It also has support for MigLayout).

And undoubtedly the best feature of Netbeans is the management of databases, honestly it is the IDE that best implements and manages MySQL databases, which is very useful if you have to handle your project with some language, either php or java .

Finally, recognize that the community has an important role in making Netbeans so popular due to its contributions in plugins as in documentation and help or support to new IDE users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about NetBeans?

I will never understand how it is possible to create such a complete IDE and leave aside an aspect as important as the visual. The default interface and the chosen font as well as the icon theme are literally ugly and look dated. The icons do not describe at all the action they represent.

Unfortunately this is something very common among the IDE and I do not understand why it is so difficult to use more up-to-date graphic libraries. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering NetBeans:

I recommend using this IDE if you are looking to manage your projects and looking for a stable application with support for very functional databases and especially an autocomplete that is very accurate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is NetBeans solving and how is that benefiting you?

I have been using Netbeans for a long time for my projects, especially those that I program in java because their UI designer is very complete and works without failures or crashes. I said crash because it is very common in other IDE that they fail to drag objects inside the form. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about NetBeans?

I have used Netbeans for 3 years (maybe more) and I think it is a great IDE, which offers flexibility and speed for programming in many languages, especially the language that is best handled is Java.

Netbeans, like the majority of IDE is very customizable, fonts, themes, colors, position of the widget etc ... all this can be configured to the user's liking.

Technically it is a mature software, with several years of development so it is very stable. By default it has features such as autocomplete, syntax highlighting, search and replacement with support for regular expressions and database management.

To summarize, the positive points in my opinion of Netbeans are:

- As with most open source projects, it has great community support.

- Multiplatform, Windows and Linux

- Support third-party plugins, some very useful as Gradle support or better Git

- Possibility of adding external themes created by the community that greatly improve the experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about NetBeans?

What I did not like about Netbeans:

- I did not like the interface, it's too old and many users give importance to this point.

- The themes that come by default are not beautiful or current.

- The default fonts could be changed by other open source that look much better like "Noto Sans" Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering NetBeans:

I recommend Netbeans if you are a Java programmer and you are looking for a stable IDE with a powerful debugger. In addition Netbeans has no additional licensing costs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is NetBeans solving and how is that benefiting you?

We need an IDE to program in Java and in this area Netbeans was the best solution we found, not only for its technical operation but also because it has no license cost. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
