"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.

Netbeans is a complete IDE for programming in numerous languages. I love the code completion, live error checking, debugging capabilities, jump to relevant class code, refactoring, and many other features! Editing interface is also great with a nice file navigation and class summary on the left window. I also love the global search and replace capability. Would highly recommend it!!! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Netbeans is a bit slow at times but the advantages outweigh this. It needs to do a background scan of all open projects so often takes a long time to complete. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Highly recommended! Programming would be much slower and inefficient without it. Full featured IDE and price is great (ie, free) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about NetBeans?

Netbeans was always my been my favorite IDE because its flexible and expandable. Also it runs much more stable than Eclipse. Also running jRuby is a charm using Netbeans because it already runs Java under the hood. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about NetBeans?

As with all java based IDEs they take a lot of system resources,. Also getting the dependencies straight is sometimes a pain in the neck Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about NetBeans?

It has a large number of integrated modules although its greatest strength is oriented to the development of JAVA, It has tools that allow user interfaces to be made easily and intuitively, The option to search for errors or debug is excellent for cold runs of the different developments and to generate a test environment with accurate results Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about NetBeans?

Its initial charge is a bit slow this due, it takes a long time to open to start using it, In comparison with other IDES it consumes a lot of RAM, it demands a lot of the computer, The use of advanced tools requires training, which causes the learning curve to build up and creates additional charges or the search for specialized personnel Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering NetBeans:

It is excellent if you have powerful equipment that supports the features required by the IDE to work properly with all its tools and extensions, if the equipment does not have large resources the IDE will present problems in the work team and end up being a problem Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Netbeans turned out to be the solution to a problem regarding the use of an IDE in common in the development department, this allowed to unify the coding style when using the same tools providing uniformity when coding Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about NetBeans?

Netbeans has everything to develop software especially when you work with java which is the programming language that you currently use. All my Java projects are developed with netbeans, for me it is a fairly complete IDE, easy to use and the one that I incorporate to handle errors is very good. And the most important thing is an open source tool for free use. Netbeans supports a large number of Java applications such as J2SE and EJB. Also work with JAVA swing is very good. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about NetBeans?

Actually I do not have anything bad to say about neatbeans. For me it has been my project development tool for more than 8 years and I have not found a substitute Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering NetBeans:

100% I recommend netbeans to develop software projects using JAVA language and I have even made projects with JAVA 3D and the experience with netbenas has been highly satisfactory. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

As I said before, I have been developing projects in JAVA for more than 8 years using the netbeans platform and I am very satisfied with what has been achieved. Many of these projects were developed in conjunction with my students at the university. My last project of a virtual electronic laboratory was developed with netbeans Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about NetBeans?

It can be used for different programming languages.

It is free.

You can develop dynamic web applications.

It has a large number of plugins that help you with the different tasks your project requires.

If the code is written in Java (as is often my case), the program will run on any platform.

Modules can be added and removed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about NetBeans?

For me, the biggest disadvantage is that it is not Eclipse, which I am accustomed to with its shortcuts, interface, and configuration. I worked with NetBeans on a project for a year, and after working with it for a year, it didn't convince me because I don't see the ease that Eclipse has. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering NetBeans:

In companies, as a general rule, the choice of IDE for development is not the responsibility of the developer, but the choice of the company. For example, in my current company (INDRA) at my branch (Salamanca), no one uses NetBeans, everyone uses Eclipse. From my personal experience, NetBeans seems unintuitive to me, it doesn't offer anything new, and in the environment I work in, almost no one uses it, so if you have problems with it, you have fewer options for whom to ask. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Netbeans was used in a project that was done for the National Police because it was a requirement of the specifications, so it solved the problem of meeting the specifications. I have not found any benefit compared to other IDEs, for example, Eclipse. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
