"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?

The NetBeans IDE is very effective to boost your productivity especially when you are doing Java development. However, NetBeans is not limited to Java only, but also work very well with other technologies, such as PHP, Groovy, JavaScript, and many more... Though NetBeans comes with many useful features, but some of them I like are:

1.) Works OOTB: NetBeans works out of the box. You don't really need to install Java or any pther software to make netbeans works. Just download the executable and install it and you should be good to go.

2.) Open Source: Unlike IntelliJ, NetBeans is open source that means you can simply get the source code and play with it.

3.) A powerful GUI builder: The GUI Builder, NetBeans provide is very powerful. You can create complex layout by just drag and drop.

4.) Support all latest and old java version.

5.) Debugging tools and customizable projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about NetBeans?

The plugin development is a downside of NetBeans. For this, I like eclipse more than NetBeans. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering NetBeans:

I would certainly recommend Netbeans to people. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I am using it for day to day software development using Java.. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about NetBeans?

I have used NetBeans as an individual for Java code development to maintain finance advisor systems. I have the program installed on my work laptop as well as my personal computers for learning projects. I like auto code completion, just start typing some code and the program will fill in the code.Also Side by side code comparison right in the interface is helpful.Also it is free to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about NetBeans?

If you have too many projects open, NetBeans takes quite a while to load inititally. I just wish it was a bit faster in code-completion (for a fast typewriter, sometimes waiting for "indexes", "view buildng", "scanning for external changes" etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering NetBeans:

I suggest to work hard on re-engineering / fixing performance issues. Modern Computer Generation demands that performance out of crashing, hanging . Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Rapid application development, very easy to integrate testing plugins ans executing test cases.This has helped me in solving production issues by using debugging functionality of insurance systems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
