"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 a powerful IDE which we can use for Java, C++, PHP and more developments. It also works as an application framework. It helps to design GUI by drag-and-drop tools to the interface. We can use NetBeans for larger projects because it provides many organisation facilities.The first thing is it is free and opensource. Also, it is a cross-platform application which we can install in many different operating systems. NetBeans orders code lines and highlights words. It also provides code auto-completing features. We can arrange files and folders for better readability and to maintain the structure of the application. Easy to refactor code if necessary. Also, there are many third-party APIs to ease coding. Easy to analyse and fix bugs using the debugger. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

NetBeans is not lighter requires high resources. Although there are many APIs we need additional training about them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about NetBeans?

Netbeans has great debugging tools, which works very well for java programs. I like that it's not as bloated as Eclipse and that it's a relatively simpler IDE to use. It's free of charge and has good support for code refactoring. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about NetBeans?

Irregular updates, which sometimes mess up the existing functionality of the software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering NetBeans:

I'd recommend integrating this with your other projects if possible, and otherwise just definitely using netbeans as a standalone IDE. It's worth it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Mostly for java software project management. Netbeans although is older than Eclipse, I think it's one of the best IDEs out there for java development. It's simple to use and provides great development features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
