"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.

What do you like best about NetBeans?

Amazing IDE to code JAVA. It shows perfectly and clearly compile errors during execution. Another thing, it has numerous options that help reduce work time. The interface and the work environment is very customizable, for example in my case I prefer to program with the dark colors instead of clear. Autocompleting is another thing that helps you save time, as well as keyboard shortcuts that you can easily create yourself.

It has adequate support for other JVM languages like groovy, scala and such (along with nice support for python lovers) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about NetBeans?

I have used Netbeans for the past three year period consistently and there are random crashes while using at high level.It is very heavy and cpu intensive with certain plugins. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about NetBeans?

Although NetBeans presents itself as a serious environment and commands respect, from my point of view, it is more suited for beginnings and small developments. It has a pleasant and simple environment with certain utilities that make you feel like you are working with something serious. Perfect if you work with PHP or CSS (although it supports many other languages). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about NetBeans?

Its main virtue is also its main disadvantage. Very simple and practical but also makes it very limited in the same aspects. Not very practical in certain tasks and does not have as much community as, for example, the case of Eclipse, which would be its older brother. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering NetBeans:

I recommend it if you are not a very demanding person and do not need a very advanced environment in your developments. Also, if you are starting in the world of programming or studying, it is a good option. I do not recommend it if you are going to undertake a large project or for business matters. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I have used it sporadically. It has helped me review CSS sheets or some PHP files. The use has been satisfactory, but as I said, it falls short in some aspects. When you don't have a development environment or editor at hand, it is a good option and on some occasions, it has been very useful to me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about NetBeans?

Netbeans has a lot of functions and features with which I can perform at work, I like its modular form since I can combine several modules to get what I need, it also has a powerful version control, another of its important characteristics for me, is that Netbeans provides many templates and tools which make my job easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about NetBeans?

For the java programming language you need to have your interpreter installed otherwise you can not do anything, besides its interface is a bit heavy when I run or test the software that I develop, I can also say that not all programming languages ​​are compatible with this IDE unless you download an appropriate module. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering NetBeans:

It is necessary to have some knowledge of java to be able to use it and have a good performance with this IDE, however once you can configure it to your liking, it will be a very useful tool on your computer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Netbeans, in addition to being an IDE, is a platform that helps me to develop complex desktop systems with Java, as well as being very useful for multiple web programming languages. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about NetBeans?

This IDE is one of the best or at least I recommend it with closed eyes to start in the world of IDEs. Also this inclue powerful and updated languages ​​to program in, such as:

Java, JavaScript, HTML5, PHP and C / C ++.

 

I must also add that it is one of the IDEs that are most commonly used at the level of small practice laboratories, universities (in the first courses of Software or Systems) and in small companies. Since the cost of acquisition of this product is very low and as I said before, the programming languages ​​that are based on this IDE are widely used and demanded today. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about NetBeans?

As for what I do not like much of this IDE is that they need to implement more features that help improve the programming in the different languages ​​they have available since even if they have a car help to complete sometimes does not work at all well or at least unlike some who are better positioned, this is missing a lot.

Finally the design of the IDE, I think it should improve. Including your website and ads. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering NetBeans:

I recommend users interested in this IDE. To the point where we can learn to get the most out of it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I have been able thanks to this IDE to give courses, tutorials, workshops for clients who want their employees to learn to program and for being a very practical and simple, I use it very frequently for these purposes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
