"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?

Incredible IDE to program in JAVA shows perfectly and clearly compile errors during execution. Another thing that stands out with respect to others is the debugging and execution of test cases, has numerous options that help reduce work time. The interface and the work environment is customizable to your liking, for example in my case I prefer to program with the dark medium instead of clear. Autocompleting is another option that helps you save time, as well as keyboard shortcuts that you can easily create yourself. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about NetBeans?

Sometimes when you make an option, such as execute a method or debug, the program takes time to respond, which is a bit annoying. For the rest, I do not find anything negative about NetBeans. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I recommend giving this IDE a chance because, in my opinion, it is one of the best, free and open source with a large active community. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about NetBeans?

NetBeans is designed to offer a smart and fast way for developers to code. The application provides code analyzers, converters and robust editors that show compatibility with the latest Java technologies. The features allow developers to update applications quickly and effortlessly to use the innovative Java 8 language constructs.

The solution provides cross-platform support which means it can be installed on Windows, Linux and Mac OS X platforms. Users can write their code once and run them anywhere. Another nice attribute is its superior support for multiple languages. With NetBeans, PHP and C ++ developers enjoy the convenience of comprehensive tools and editors for all related technologies and frameworks for PHP, XML, HTML, JSP, JavaScript, Javadoc and Groovy.

Sometimes, the IDE freezes after the monitor shuts down so it is not inactive.

What do you like best about NetBeans?

NetBeans has multiple languages and allows you to create multiple different types of applications such as Desktop and Mobile applications. It is easy to debug, and compile code. It is extremely customizable and saves a lot of work time. I love that it is open source. The syntax checking helps extremely when debugging code. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about NetBeans?

All the features make it so easy to code that when you change to a different IDE you forget how to do certain things. Many details are overlooked when using this that it doesn't help you learn the language properly. This should only be used by already experienced programmers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

This saves many hours of work time and money. The syntax checker help prevent many long hours of going back to the code and finding the error. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about NetBeans?

It provides a good set of debugging and version controls tools and is very handy for developing swing applications. Its auto-suggest feature is quite well developed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about NetBeans?

the git conflicts are harder to resolve when developing swing applications as they occur in immutable code sometimes which has to be opened up in another editor and then resolved.

Although the auto-suggest feature is well developed it loses track of suggestions if something gets mistyped. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I have been developing my skills in Java and recently made a multi-party swing application for facilitating a better lifestyle for the homeless.

The debugging part is really good and helped me through a lot of problems during my development. I could faster traverse through the structural part of the code and focus more towards the logical part through the auto-suggest feature. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about NetBeans?

I have been using NetBeans to develop my Java applications from past 4 years. I like NetBeans as it is easy to use and has many integrated development modules for Java. It has the ability to debug and provide hints to optimize the code. It also has version control and many advanced tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about NetBeans?

NetBeans takes more memory to run the applications as compared to other IDEs. Also we require some sort of training or knowledge for using its advanced tools or features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering NetBeans:

I recommend to use NetBeans for developing applications as it is easily available and also have great advanced features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

As a teaching assistant I have been using NetBeans to teach the data structures and algorithms to the students. I think that because NetBeans is a free and easily available tool, it is great tool to use and to learn Java through it since it allows us to notify the errors and also have the facility ti auto complete the syntax..
