Easy to use, Simple interface, Gives drag and drop functionality for UI to be developed. Easy to develop the java applications when required.

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.

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.
