It is open source and free tool for the developer. It supports all necessary technologies used these days.
It's HTML an CSS support it the best. NetBeans add-on tools for collecting and visualizing performance profiles of running applications are really good. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Though it is the best IDE sometimes it fails to handle large data files and crashes the system on which it is running. We cannot directly paste the code and run rather we have configured it first to run the pasted code. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like how Netbeans is available cross-platform. I started off using it on Windows, moved to Ubuntu, now using netbeans on my Mabcook. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The main thing I dislike about Netbeans is the speed at which the software loads my projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I think is easy to use, for me in the language Java, easy to install and not too much heavy to start. You can run in with a normal laptop for sure. II use it on mine and everything is okey with it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I dont like too much the layout, the screen basicaly. I think is not too much user-friendly and can be better for sure. It is my opinion, maybe other users can say the oposite. Sometimes I dont understand some things. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.

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.

There is not even a single thing that I personally dislike about the software Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
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.
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.
I like the addons system and how they handle it. Also is a really easy to use IDE and very stable with a nice set of refactoring utilities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I think the visual aspect can be better. Also better skins and themes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
the ability your can just use it for everything, it has command prompt embeded, ftp access ssh just anything you can ever need as a developer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
its not easy to navigate around, its understandable providing many features it has. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It’s a great ide for general purpose and full stack development. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It has a bit of an outdated aesthetic but that doesn’t effect the great functionality Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
