    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.

    I've met several engineers who have temporarily lost their ability to use the mouse / keyboard. But its more than an accessibility tool. Being able to simply say "Refactor this method to iterate over the collection as a collection of promises and await all promises after the iteration."... and then get that done, was amazing.

    Pros
    Open Source
    • Debugging - Save time hunting down errors by stepping through the code to find the root of a problem.
    • Refactoring - Easily rename classes and variables or make other structural changes using built-in refactoring tools.
    • Service management - NetBeans integrates seamlessly with web application servers like Tomcat and GlassFish.
    • Source control - Works well with Git and other version control tools.

    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.

    • The voice recognition takes some getting used to. Just like using a new keyboard, you get used to what you need to over-enunciate or be really clear on. Being able to train the model / interpreter they are using on my voice, tonation, dictation, accent, etc would be a major benefit.
    • Having to have a clear picture in your head about the code you want to write is a mental challenge. But this is more of a challenge of the process than the application. I found littering the code I wanted to refactor with #todo comments and then asking Serenade.ai to implement the series of comments to be the best method of planning and then implementing the code.

    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

    Until very recently, there was nothing on the market which allowed you to code with voice with the accuracy that Serenade.ai provided. Even now there is nothing that I'm aware of that allows you to interface with your ENTIRE PC/Mac with your voice.

    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.

    • I was able to continue my engineering position, earning salary, without taking disability until after my surgery. During that time I was able to continue to participate.
