"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?

About a year ago, I decided to try out Netbeans 8.2 IDE, after using other IDEs, and was surprised of its simplicity and how fast it started. From then on I use it regularly for all Java development. I like best the ecosystem of available plugins, and was surprise to find a wide variety of alternatives, even for development on different programming languages. Additionally, I find its keyboard shortcuts very intuitive to use.

What do you dislike about NetBeans?

After deciding to upgrade the Java jdk and getting rid of previous versions, I noticed that my Netbeans installation would not open as before. I had configure my Java environment variables to point to the new jdk. After some research I found out that although I could use Java 9 SE as standard libraries, I still needed to have a Java 8 jdk installation available for Netbeans to run. I hope that a new release comes out soon with full support for Java 9. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering NetBeans:

I fully recommend Netbeans IDE, with additional plugins installed it can be used for developement with other programming languages. There is also the nightly builds that fully support Java 9 SE. Also, there are many plugins to modify the look and feel, with awesome themes, that makes your work more pleasant. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I use Neatbeans 8.2 as my standard IDE for java development, mostly desktop applications. Although I have installed other IDEs, I like Netbeans IDE for its simplicity of use and fast loading. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about NetBeans?

Singular view for all different applications such as Java EE, SE, SQL, UML, etc. Efficient plugin installation and IDE design. Works better with multiple screens. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about NetBeans?

Debugging is slower than Eclipse. It is all-in-one package which means overall operation speed is also affected. Easy to use and understand. It already has everything you need saving time on installing packages everytime and makes code portable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
