"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?

Multiple features integrated into one IDE make it extremely useful for a developer. Simple singular view interface helps keep the coding simple and clean. It is better than Eclipse in terms of operation. Supported plugins are a big plus. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about NetBeans?

What do you like best about NetBeans?

For me, Netbeans is very user friendly. We no need to install any plugins because the default one is enough. Not only that, for using the library, we can using manual method ( only left click and add jar ) beside using maven. It's very good especially for me who not very like using automation repo.

What do you like best about NetBeans?

Great code completion, just start typing some code and the program will fill in the code.

Find/Replace is a key feature and works through whole projects as opposed to just a single file. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about NetBeans?

Sometimes, the code suggestions are a bit intrusive and must be "deactivated", I like my code to pass the inspection, but situations like "too many nested blocks" prevent the code that works previously from passing new versions of the program suggestions .

If you have too many projects open, NetBeans take a long time to load. I need to go have a cup of tea and come back. As a result, I jealously guard how many projects are open at the same time.

The completion of the code and the PHP platform function can occasionally be more of a curse than a blessing. Constant 'pop ups' of clues, suggestions make coding a bit irritating, I do not actually turn it off, but I'm tempted. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Side by side code comparison right in the interface allows me to update similar pages.

I appreciate the ease of using variable highlighting, with a wave of the mouse you can see visually where a given variable exists in your code. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
