Open Source
NetBeans is extremely user friendly and easy to start developing complex applications. Adding and configuring external libraries is much simpler than in Eclipse. It is highly cost effective and most of the latest framework based libraries required are automatically downloaded to the projects. The overall tool is also light weight and consumes less memory as compared to other competitor tools.

If you are Ruby On Rails Developer, RubyMine is great choice of IDE. It provides good integration with rails so that running rake tasks, generators, bundle install all can be done from within the IDE. So using RubyMine it decreases extra time to go to googling syntax for Ruby code and making developer more productive.

Cons
Open Source
  • NetBeans [should] work smoothly with systems having less RAM. Systems with less RAM face trouble with NetBeans.
  • File open history also requires improvement. Once NetBeans is restarted, all files are closed automatically and there is no shortcut to open last opened files.

Usability
Open Source
Netbeans enhances my coding work, shows me where I have errors and helps find variable instances. I would be lost without find/replace in projects functionality as I use projects as templates for new projects. Occasionally the code hints aggravate me, but I understand that it is actually making me a better coder, working to get the 'green light' of a clean file with no errors or clumsy code.

NetBeans has a very strong user community. We can find solutions here for almost all the problems we face. In addition, we can forward NetBeans Support teams the problems we cannot solve. We can get quick feedback from the support teams, but I generally try to solve my problems by following the forums.

It works very smoothly as compared to other tools . The problem of restarting and reimporting the projects is not in the netbeans IDE . The front end development features are good . Netbeans connector is one of the best thing which enables us to deeply integrate netbeans IDE with google chrome browser

RubyMine is specifically for Ruby On Rails so it is more focused and having more syntax autocompletion and other tasks automation with good code debugging skill. So, for particular Ruby On Rails project development it is much more advanced and effective than any other general IDE like Visual studio and Sublime Text.

Return on Investment
Open Source
  • By working on Netbeans I just learned one more tool and can teach others about it. One should learn every tool so that it might help someday if another editor is not available and you have to use different software for your work.
  • Compiling code became easy as it is not a feature of normal text editors. Only IDE can do this.

  • sometimes it feels slow down system because of using RubyMine as it requires more memory and power.
  • RubyMine is great choice of any Ruby On Rails Developer as it reduces time of project development by providing lots of inbuilt functionalities like autocompletes syntax running rake task, git integrations and many more
