"NetBeans: A Programmer's Dream IDE - A Comprehensive Review"
What do you like best about NetBeans?

NetBeans has undoubtedly secured a significant spot in my heart as a programmer. From the moment I dived into its feature-packed environment, it became evident that this IDE is engineered with programmers' needs at the forefront.

First and foremost, NetBeans impresses with its unrivaled Java development capabilities. As a Java enthusiast, the IDE's seamless integration of project management, code editing, and debugging tools has become an indispensable part of my workflow. The code completion is nothing short of brilliant; it adapts to my coding style, anticipates my next steps, and often saves me from typing out long-winded method names.

The version control integration, especially with Git, is a lifesaver. I can effortlessly manage repositories, review changes, and resolve conflicts within the IDE. This level of version control convenience keeps my coding rhythm unbroken and promotes cleaner collaboration within my development team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about NetBeans?

However, the IDE does have its quirks. The initial loading time can be a bit sluggish, and memory usage tends to escalate with larger projects. While it's not a dealbreaker, it's something to keep in mind for resource-intensive tasks.

In conclusion, NetBeans is a programmer's playground that facilitates efficient coding, debugging, and version control. Its versatility, plugins, and dedicated Java support make it a potent tool for programmers who strive for productivity and code quality. While some performance hiccups do exist, they pale in comparison to the overall experience NetBeans delivers. For developers seeking a robust and feature-rich IDE, NetBeans is a strong contender that will undoubtedly elevate your coding journey. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I like using IDE over other development kits like Eclipse. NetBeans IDE has wonderful SWING GUI (Graphical User Interface) features. Easily connected to the DB using connectors i.e you can connect to MySQL or PG using connectors. NetBeans IDE has a lot of shortcuts that minimizes workload. It also has a task management space that shows your work, it has a nice view where you can always see what you are working on. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about NetBeans?

Problems of configuring plugins in systems eg 64 bits and 32 bits. Another features that of NetBeans that haunts me is the "scanning of projects", it takes longer and even hangs up my machine for a lot of time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

It's the cross-platform support, which helps me to write code without thinking of the operating system. Support for multiple programming languages. Templates allow us to get started quickly. It has an integrated debugger and options to add plugins. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about NetBeans?

It consumes a lot of memory. Mobile app development for platforms like iOS and Android is limited. It has limited community and third-party support. It provides lots of features which may not be easy to understand at the initial times. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"An Average platform for developers"
What do you like best about NetBeans?

It is one of my first used IDE platforms because it has large plugin support, it is easy to install and run, and integrates with Git, Mercurial and Subversion seamlessly. Collaboration is efficiently done and even helps in debugging and code optimization. The suggestion algorithm works like magic as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about NetBeans?

The major drawback is the view available here, it is a single-type view IDE and lacks in compiling multiple snippets in a single file at a time. Basic projects can be made but for complex projects which include Angular or Advanced JavaScript, it doesn't work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"NetBeans in a nutshell"
What do you like best about NetBeans?

I was using the NetBeans mainly for Java Swing-based user interface development. The UI component drag-and-drop feature made it so easy to design the UI interactively.And it was easy to wire down the action code by clicking the UI components. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about NetBeans?

When creating the interfaces, the layouts in the IDE were not supportive. It was not easy to use Netbeans for Web-based app development. The loading time of the IDe was somewhat frustrating as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Complete Package for a Java Application Developer"
What do you like best about NetBeans?

The thing I like the best about Netbeans is a person who doesnt even know to code can easily learn and code to develop a Java Application. It contains the JDK kit and can be interfaced with SQL DB using JDBC. Netbeans contains the Controls which can be dragged and placed in a designer page and the developer can create an application based on it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about NetBeans?

I dont have much dislike about Netbeans. But only one thing I feel is it can improve the feel and texture of Controls with more number of colors and designs based on todays needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Best IDE for Java GUI applications"
What do you like best about NetBeans?

The best feature about this NetBeans IDE is that you can build graphical user interface applications on Java. I always felt the IDE is user friendly and very interactive. Anyone with no experience in the building graphical user interfaces can surely work on it as beginner. Things that I liked in NetBeans which I use in daily are-

1) Switching between source code page and design page is convenient.

2) Pre-defined methods for tools available in the panel.

3) Easy navigation through project, files and services.

4) Seamless connection with database.

5) Flawless switching between pages. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about NetBeans?

NetBeans is surely one of the best IDE for Java graphic user interfaces, but some things which I did not not like while using it on daily basis are-

1) Dark theme not available in the navigation pane.

2) Selecting swing controls into design page is tedious process.

3) Application UX/UI can be improved.

4) Difficulty in finding projects tab. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
