"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?

Unlike Eclipse. netbeans lets me stay in the IDE without shifting workspaces. It understands I want to put elements into jar files and just run it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about NetBeans?

One issue compared to visual studio is I can’t select files and have them automatically put into the distribution directly. I have to enter the xml file and change the settings. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I needed to work on Java and JavaScript programs. The Java was best because I could make one project for one Java class, add it to another project and just have things work right. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about NetBeans?

I have been a NetBeans user for the longest time for both Java, PHP, HTML5/CSS3 development projects and it has been the single, most dependable IDE for me personally - sort of like a Swiss knife. I specially liked the Publish-to-Server via FTP/SFTP functionality and Chrome debugger plugin, for web projects Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about NetBeans?

Depending on the version used, the publish to server functionality can be buggy - for example, when publishing via FTP, the server may not always publish the selected files and keep a track of what was published. Instead, you would have needed to select "everything" and rewrite everything on the server, in an FTP upload which got frustrating. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Ongoing software development.

Benefits: overall language support and error-tracking in the code Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The interface of Netbeans is very simple and awesome. The feature that NetBeans allows applications to be developed from a set of modular is amazing Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about NetBeans?

It takes some long time to load and also Netbeans do not support many of the javascript languages. Takes up more memory than lighter IDEs. Advanced tools and features require some training. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I develop complex software programs in Java using Netbeans. All my project code will be in the Netbeans IDE and on day to day basis I use Netbeans to write new code, write test cases to test the existing code. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about NetBeans?

I used to develop some java applications with it, and it was my favourite at the time, it was really extensible, the Swing designer was very easy to use and autocomplete functionality worked like a charm. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about NetBeans?

Some things get to be too automatic which is not necessarilly a bad thing, but once I spent several days trying to fix a big bug which happend to be created by some automatic function of the IDE which created a bad configuration file, which in my opinion speaks of bad QA while developing the Netbeans.

Keep in mind that Netbeans is kind of resource intensive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
