"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 for programming in JAVA, it perfectly and clearly shows compilation errors during execution. Another thing it stands out for compared to others is debugging and running test cases, it has numerous options that help reduce work time. The interface and work environment are customizable to your liking, for example, in my case, I prefer to program with the dark mode instead of light. Autocomplete 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 perform an option, such as running a method or debugging, the program takes a while to respond, which becomes a bit annoying. Otherwise, I don't find anything negative about NetBeans. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about NetBeans?

Ready made integrations for Git and Maven. Given its remote deployment features, this makes the cycle of edit-compile-deploy-debug-tune much more efficient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about NetBeans?

For large projects, it takes a long time to load. Even though the recommendation is "disable plugins that you are not using", I feel that NetBeans should be able to automatically determine that and not load LRU plugins and projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering NetBeans:

What do you like best about NetBeans?

Netbeans has a really easy interface so it's perfect for beginners in comparison to eclipse for example.

Debugging is very easy and simple to do which I think is a great advantage. The interface is one of the things that I like the most, very familiar, you find things very fast even it's your first time using Netbeans.

It shows compilation errors during the programs. Has utility for many add-ons to generate web services. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about NetBeans?

Its biggest con is the consumption of system resources because it does not work for old computers.

It is developed for people who are already professionals and not beginners because the learning curve is wide. Doesn't handle different monitor resolutions well Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about NetBeans?

What i like best on NetBeans is that you can use it for several purposes. You can use it for desktop applications, for creating websites, create local servers and many other things! The best part is that all of these are possible in the same program, wich saves you a lot of time! And also the autocomplete is great,very usefull! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about NetBeans?

The thing that i dislike is that it takes a lot of space of RAM to use the program, wich makes the PC a little slower. But the new app is in fact better, so the problem is basicly solved. Another thing that isn't so great is that the files that were created by the oldest version, aren't very compatible with the new version of NetBeans, so is best for you to star working with the most recent version to make sure you don't have this problem. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering NetBeans:

If you are planning to work with java you should really try to use NetBeans, you won't regret it! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
