"NetBeans Review"
What do you like best about NetBeans?

NetBeans supports various programming languages, HTML5, JavaScript, PHP, C++, which makes it a convenient platform to use. The user interface is pretty straightforward - it is not complicated to install and requires less time to start. The application doesn't hang the system like Visual Studio but is not ideal for heavy applications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about NetBeans?

The application becomes cumbersome to use as we scale up. To use NetBeans, you have to install JDK - setting up the environment variable is a challenging job, and it has to be done perfectly for them to function correctly. This process requires a lot of attention and is time-consuming. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

First of all with Netbeansyou can program on java, PHP, HTML, or CSS. Secondly, the community support for NetBeans is very high at no time will you lack a solution to a problem.
