"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?

NetBeans is perfectly suited as an entry level IDE for Java or PHP, when most of your time should be spent learning how to code instead of learning how to use the IDE.

Thanks to its out-of-the-box autocomplete, file navigation and style hints, as well as integration with most VCSs, it really helps focusing on what matters most.

Its extra features, including debugger integration, database connectors and a broad (yet not really easy to setup) plugin library, qualify it as one of the most complete IDEs, free of charge. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about NetBeans?

Unfortunately NetBeans' user interface has not been kept up-to-date, and as the project size increases (or the number of concurrent projects does) it struggles a bit with its memory consumption and increased loading time.

The plugin system is also far from accessible in terms of tailoring the IDE to some of your advanced needs as a developer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering NetBeans:

If you need an IDE for Java or PHP code, download NetBeans and start coding before even considering if it could be worth trying a paid IDE.

You will feel the need of a different IDE only when (and if) your experience as a developer has scaled up considerably Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I have used NetBeans since my first day as a web developer and for many years onwards, and it sure helped me (and many of my colleagues) both write better software myself - and faster than a notepad of course - and understand easily software written by others, which every developer knows how important is.

As my needs as a developer changed over time, I went on to use paid IDEs for the extra benefits (both performance and integration wise) or more versatile IDEs (at the cost of spending some time configuring and tweaking them). But NetBeans still sits in my quick access bar and gets fired from time to time to work on some legacy project when they need care! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
