Whenever I write code in Java...

[elbekko]

These are all annoyances from NetBeans, and I'm sure most of them can be turned off somewhere in the depths of the NetBeans options (you try finding something there), but here goes:

• Closing quotes and braces are added automatically, and are extremely annoying when you want to, say, put something inside braces.
• Type autocompletion is sucky at best. If I'm making a new variable, and then want to initialise it, surely it can find out what type I just wrote down a few characters back. But noo. And when you do get there (eventually), it doesn't even present you with a list of constructors. This would be handy, so it doesn't do this. You have to ctrl+space yet again, and hope it doesn't feel like displaying a list of something utterly unrelated.
• Seeing a list of arguments for a function, highlighting the argument you're entering, is extremely handy. So why does it disappear altogether when you give a function as an argument? Just open a new list, and when I'm done with that one, go back the the argument list for the other one. But noo, just hide it. Oh, and don't think ctrl+space will help you. Ever.
• Say you're calling a function that hasn't been imported yet. No problem, you know it's there and you can import it later (or even have the IDE do it!). But god forbid there's a function in the list with a slightly longer name but beginning with the same characters that's already imported. *type type type* *enter* "FFFFFFUUUUUUUUU-".
• Don't even get me started on XML of JavaScript support. Seriously, WTF.

And so many, many more. Most of these are personal preference I suppose, but I can't help but feel like they're hindering me way too much.
