"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.

Reuse of the Modules. Allows the use of the Update Center Module tool.

Installation and simple update. Includes Templates and Wizards.

It has support for Php. It's free!, Develop dynamic web applications, I stay with Netbeans.

Little existence of plugins for this platform.

Rich Client Platform (RCP) documentation is required.

A lot of its features make NetBeans the best open source IDE! I love the support for multiple languages (Java, C++, PHP).

What do you like best about NetBeans?

Of the things that I like the most about NetBeans is its ease of use and easy learning that characterizes it. It also serves very well to perform tests with different languages ​​since it meets the standards in the market. That is, it has good code processing, includes good links with current operating systems.

On the other hand, NetBeans really is not an expensive software, so when looking for an IDE from which the project where it will be used will not leave many benefits to the company we can take it into account without worries. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about NetBeans?

About the features that I do not like NetBeans are: that they do not update followed by what sometimes becomes a bit tedious not being able to enjoy the best versions of some complementary systems. It does not have a great design compared to other IDE (Although the truth is not the worst).

It contains some characteristics that are a little obsolete or that already with other programs that are installed additionally we obtain it and in a more complete way. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering NetBeans:

I recommend this IDE to make betas, test environments, tests. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

What do you like best about NetBeans?

The excellent interface is quite comfortable because it has all the tools in sight and very well ordered, I can customize the font and color to my liking, another feature that I like about this IDE is the possibility of downloading add-ons that incorporate new functions and features , although the strength of Netbeans is that Java can be configured to support almost any type of programming language. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about NetBeans?

By default, it is available in English and does not have more languages ​​unless you install them manually, also when installing many add-ons it becomes slower and freezes a lot when debugging my code. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering NetBeans:

Keep in mind that Netbeans by itself without any kind of complements will only serve you to program in java and for web developments, if you plan to do large developments you will need to install add-ons and configure it for what you need to do. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is nothing to dislike about Netbeans, it has been my go to IDE for everything the last 5+ years.
