"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?

Great IDE. For me, the best of those I've tried, it is free and has countless features. It works through projects where you can save your code and test directly in the browser you select from NetBeans itself from those you have installed on the machine. It also has an error checker according to the language you select. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about NetBeans?

It has some small operational or optimization errors. For example, sometimes the error corrector in the code gets buggy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I have solved some tasks, especially web forms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about NetBeans?

it does the syntax and semantics check on its own with each keypress, that's what saves a lot of time in coding and prevent you from scratching your head after each line of code Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about NetBeans?

since it has the feature of background scanning of projects, but it sometimes makes it hang and we can't proceed further rather it should ask the user preferences of which folders to include in background scanning and then continue to it Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering NetBeans:

net beans IDS is heavyweight and require many plugins to make your task easy which make it much heavy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I do lot of coding in PHP and framework files which are interconnected, so I need a mechanism that with one view I can see the file causing error and that's where net beans helps me a lot in showing full directory structure with correctness and each file and also the remote file connection helps me from going to filezilla each and every time Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about NetBeans?

NetBeans is a Java IDE that focuses in JavaFX platform. It is great because it makes the controllers automatically, but it does not support kotlin nor TornadoFX, so the utility for now falls a bit short. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about NetBeans?

It has some bugs here and there, the controllers sometimes are confused between two with the same name from other projects and such. Obviously, the fact that it does not support kotlin does not help. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering NetBeans:

Change to TornadoFX, that's all Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about NetBeans?

It's most popular IDE. easy to install and user.

The current version runs on Windows, Mac OS X, Linux and Solaris.

The editor:

-Detects errors while you type and assists you with documentation popups

-Code analyzers, and converters.

-Refactoring tools.

This bundle includes JavaScript and HTML support, GlassFish, and Tomcat,

but not the support for PHP, C/C++/Fortran, Groovy, and Grails included in the "All" download bundle. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about NetBeans?

Enough to develop software

In my opinion there’s somewhat less community participation.

NetBeans has fewer plugins than Eclipse.

Not bad, but it can improve. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about NetBeans?

Netbeans has many add ons for Java which makes programming very convenient. It also has a Java Swing gui builder which makes making a UI much easier especially since Swing is super obnoxious. Additionally, the IDE just looks nice, especially with a dark theme. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about NetBeans?

The IDE in general can be slow to load. Also, using the debugger can be pretty slow too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering NetBeans:

It was a good IDE, unfortunately I do not do much Java programming any more; however, if I needed to do some, I would use this IDE. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Netbeans is what we used to build our micro services. We would only use Netbeans for our front and back end development. Using one IDE did make it easy when working with the html, javascript, css, and java. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

(Original )Information
What do you like best about NetBeans?

Because of good community support and ample to tutorials, Netbeans is one of the simplest platform/IDE to start with. Setting up Netbeans is quite simple because of its UI wizard installation. The wizards has pretty good support for various build tools, such as: ANT, and Maven. Not only just build support, but the wizard setup comes with many advance features as well (i.e. plugins, auto-update etc...). The best thing about netbeans is that its very user friendly and very less configuration is needed. Netbeans supports many languages, such as: Java EE, HTML5, JavaScript, and CSS3. The latest version of Netbeans also comes with support for Internet of Things that means users can directly create, test, debug, deploy, and profile applications that will run on the Raspberry Pi, mobile phones, PDAs, set-top boxes, and other mobile and embedded systems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about NetBeans?

Though Netbeans provides GUI assistance to build GUI without writing the code, but most of the time using GUI assistance make things more complex. For me, writing the code to build the UI was easy and quick than using the GUI assistance. The major problem is positioning the elements. Often times it places the labels on each other and there is no zoom button to see. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering NetBeans:

Netbeans comes with variety of latest features and hassle free installation. I would certainly recommend this IDE to developers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We use Netbeans for various purposes starting from developing the software to build. Netbeans has been very productive and time saver so far and we plan to continue using it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
