"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?

This platform offers common reusable services for desktop applications, allowing developers to focus on the logic of their applications. Among its features, include: management of the user interface (menus and toolbars); user configuration management; storage management; window management; assistant frame; Netbeans visual library; and integrated development tools, it's great.

It has many advantages among which are:

1. Multi-platform language: The code that is written in java is read by an interpreter, so your program will be on any platform.

2. Automatic memory management. (for those who come from C / C ++). Memory management is done automatically and using the garbage collector.

3. It's free!

4. Develop dynamic web applications.

5. Develop server applications for online forums, warehouses, surveys, HTML forms processing and much more. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about NetBeans?

Disadvantages

1. Because of its slowness when executing applications (although it has improved over time)

2. Requires an interpreter.

3. Some implementations and libraries may have sophisticated code.

4. A bad implementation of a program in java, can result in something very slow.

5. Some tools have an additional cost Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering NetBeans:

A software for Java programming very friendly and easy to use, I recommend 100%. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

when it is developed in JAVA virtual machine it is a very useful tool since it adds configuration and options that are not found in another environment, which makes programming more enjoyable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering NetBeans:

It is a very good IDE to start your first projects and enter the world of development. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
