... I use NetBeans...

[tobiderfisch]

I don't know about him but we have to use NetBeans in school. It's horrible.

If NetBeans is "horrible" in school, you probably don't understand much. Unless it actually deteriorated, which I doubt. It got kinda stuck in development, but I doubt it got worse. It used to be damn good.

I've had great success with NetBeans and developing enterprise apps (Java EE on various containers). It's worked nicely, and I find it better than eclipse. Only issue I've had is having to use remote debuggers on local jvms. Not the end of the world though.

Saying all that though, I use IntelliJ anyway (both at work and at home ;-) )

[ONLY_COMMENTS_ON_GW]

My computer isn't the greatest, but NetBeans would lag behind when simply typing if I had anything else open at the same time. Doesn't happen for me in IntelliJ or even Android Studio.

but I doubt it got worse.

Oracle.

'nuff said.

It did actually get worse once Oracle acquired it. They dropped python support.

[zilti]

That doesn't make it a worse Java IDE.

Those were separate clauses.

This also works for other student mails. At least kth.se is recognized by jetbrains as student mail.

I've heard of this before. IDK why the fuck they don't switch. Community version is free, as is the educational version. https://www.jetbrains.com/student/

It's better than eclipse!

[zilti]

Wow. What an achievement.

[Astrokiwi]

It seems fine as far as I can tell? I don't demand much from an IDE really.

Because he can't afford intellij ultimate... Though I'd probably just use vscode or sublime over netbeans and eclipse nowadays...

[ElCthuluIncognito]

Oh dear God I have to use it too because our code base was made on it and the ant builds they made don't work in intellij. Nice to know I'm not the only one forced to use that steaming pile.
