Overall Satisfaction with NetBeans

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Each developer in our organization runs a local instance of Netbeans. We use it for the primary IDE for our PHP applications. It has many tools that help improve the ability of our developers to write good code and to access resources related to the projects they are working on. Each developer can customize many aspects of the software to suit their unique styles and likes.

Pros and Cons

Pros

PHP code suggestions
Maintain references between projects, classes, and functions
Many customizable key board shortcuts

Cons

Integrations with third party applications

Return on Investment

Helped to improve use of developer time with built in tools

Alternatives Considered

Dreamweaver and Visual Studio IDE

Easy to use. Not really proprietary to a single vendor or language.

Likelihood to Recommend

We use it primary for development in half a dozen separate PHP applications. We have common projects that span all of the applications. Netbeans does a good job helping to keep track of all of the relationships and dependencies.
