There are lots of editors out there for PHP, but Netbeans is one of the best out there for debugging

Despite relatively simple requirements and few open pages, memory usage seems to quickly grow to where 3 gigs of RAM can be consumed. I'm not sure what all is in there.

I've been using NetBeans since 2002, and it always impresses me how easy it makes the development process. Initially was only Java. Now, I can work in complex systems with multiple languages in only one place

Works well with Java, with excellent WYSIWYG tools for Swing or JavaFX. Also works with C/C++, Python, PHP, Javascript and other languages. Easy to configure a system development with multiple languages, easy to deploy on the server (with config to multiple servers like test and production) or on the cloud.

With all these features, it is a heavy app. Demands a good machine.

Netbeans is an amazing IDE for software developers. I used it to develop multiple java projects. It is budget friendly and also supports multiple programming language. It also supports drag and drop functionality which saves a lot of time.

The looks and fell of the program feels a bit old. The code suggestion and completion would be a great update to it. The app also closes frequently if used for a longer period of time on a windows computer.

Its simplicity of interface and its fantastic setting

Does not describe 100% the error given during compilation

this help us to manage the product easily and this allow to design fast for front end no need to write hard coding for the design this will automatically write code for design according to drag and drop featre

NetBeans is a ide that is currently idely used in industry That provide a best interface and auto suggestion for the method and class of langue that help to write a code fast that allow a auto alignment and auto complication of block .This also collapse a block that help to in easy to find a function that is written.this is provide drag and drop facility for design a page

not a much optimized that is working slow on less configure system as compare to sublime size of software is high compared with other text editor

A great introduction to IDEs and compilers letting me start my programming career in Java.

Netbeans gives me great syntax highlighting which really saves me time when it come to programming in java. It quickly highlights any errors and lets me correct them. You can also have free version for those unsure. This really let me try all the features before getting involved in the premium version.

Comparing net beans to some newer software IDEs can make it feel a little less customisable in terms of themes and feel. But if you don’t normally change your theme or colour scheme then this won’t worry you.

After having used it for about 1 year, this tool is very intuitive and easy to use if you know the programming language, thanks to the ease of writing code and the help it provides at the time of doing the same.

Netbeans is a tool that allows software development in an easy and efficient way if you know well the programming language in which you are working. It includes plugins that fulfill its function of facilitating the use of the IDE.

Netbens has some problems when cleaning and debugging, as well as some problems with the installation of libraries that are not in the IDE.

My experience with Apache netbeans has been amazing and productive .

The simplicity with drag and drop designing functionality really helps in meeting deadlines and still give a client a good product

I feel like the automatic cache memory dump function should be add on

Netbeans is like an old Volvo. It might not be the sexiest IDE to look at, but it requires very little maintenance and just gets the job done every time. It's rock steady, and has pretty much all the functionality you need.

The Swing GUI editor makes it extremely easy to build programs with fairly complex UI with drag and drop components, that are then easily wired up to functionality.

It often takes a long time for new features to make it to the IDE, and it can be a bit of a learning curve to get started.

In my experience with Apache NetBeans, I have developed school projects such as calculators and programs using data structures like stacks and queues. The most challenging aspect was when I attempted to connect Arduino with Apache NetBeans, as it posed some complications. However, I believe it has been a valuable environment for my educational projects.

Despite its versatility, NetBeans offers an intuitive interface, making it accessible for students and learners.

While Apache NetBeans is a powerful IDE, it may have resource and compatibility limitations, a learning curve for beginners, and occasional stability issues

I have used NetBeans in the form of MPLAB X from Microchip. I find it to be a competent IDE with all the expected features, but let down by its Java-based nature causing sluggish performance and high memory consumption. When running on a a laptop on battery I find navigation laggy and compiling and debugging is far slower than usual. Overall a decent, well-though out IDE but there are better options for Java development (unfortunately for Microchip microcontrollers there is no choice).

Simple, logical layout and wide range of preferences for tweaking the UI to taste. Built in support for SVN makes it easy to see what has changed since previous versions of a file. Largely conforms to standard key bindings, GUI layout etc. making transition from other software relatively painless. Being able to have many projects loaded and quickly switch between is very convenient, although can be confusing as source file tabs are not visually distinguished between projects.

Startup time is slow and it takes little while to fully load open projects. CPU and RAM usage during normal operation is high. It often gets stuck running a background process which means it will not close down without nagging the user and giving a semi-scary data-loss warning (it is almost always OK). Real time code checking frequently fails leaving red or yellow underlining for non-existent (or fixed) problems. Seemingly-related is the intelligent code navigation (ctrl-clicking on variables and functions to jump to the declaration) which also fails at the same time. USB connection to debugging tools is also temperamental, often requiring either an unplug-replug of the tool or a restart of the IDE to fix.

The web development aspect, server option and adding plugins

More needed in the aspect of plugins and support of frame works

As a basic Java developer, we work on a concept called Servlets in Java. In that servlets concept, we make use of apache tomcat tool. In the case of eclipse, we need to download some packages, deploy it in our eclipse IDE which adds on some extra work. But in Netbeans, tomcat support is readily avalible. If I want to create a web service, I need to make use of Glassfish Server. In Netbeans, Glassfish support is available without the need for external packages. I have tried to make use of Swing GUI where we can drag the components in a GUI Builder and the source code is designed automatically according to the components placed in GUI builder. Another important feature is auto-completion of code and a built-in SQL Editor. My overall experience working with Netbeans is so satisfying as it provides such good in-built features.

1) It is a free and open source IDE. 2) Inbuilt Integration of server applications like Tomcat and Glassfish. 3) Can run on operating systems like Windows, Mac, Linux. 4) We can import the project source code from global repositories like GitHub. 5) We can write the code in Multiple languages like Java, PHP, C, C++, JavaScript, HTML5. 6) Some other features like auto-completion of code, code optimization, search and replacement of code. 7) The Netbeans support is very good as they provide solutions for our queries within a short span of time with optimized solutions. 8) We can customize our own themes to make our GUI more interactive.

I did not find any flaws with this software.

I find NetBeans to be user-friendly, with a straightforward interface and intuitive tools. I consider it a good choice for both beginners and experienced developers.

It provides support for popular version control systems like Git and therefore making it easier to manage and collaborate on projects with distributed teams. It also seamlessly integrates with build tools like Apache Maven and Apache Ant which simplify project management, dependency management, and building, allowing developers to focus on coding.

The IDE can be slow to start which is usually frustrating when you need to quickly open and edit a file.

As someone who codes in Java, I must say that Apache NetBeans made my life much easier. It is hard to find a software similar to this which is open source and contain all the features this has. Therefore, this is the best software out there which can be used to create stand-alone or web applications.

Apache NetBeans is the place where I build and run all my desktop and web applications. NetBeans has auto-completion feature which I like the most. It saves time and reduces errors. When I talk about errors I must say that NetBeans shows compilation errors during the execution in a manner that I can easily understand where I made mistakes. NetBeans comes with a lot short cut keys which saves my time and speeds up the coding process.

There is no minus point about Apache NetBeans. The only problem I have is that it takes some time to respond when I debug.

Years ago we traded Netbeans for Eclipse, and Eclipse for VS Code, but in 2020 we decided to test Netbeans again. In a few weeks of testing we noticed the same problems as always: it's slow, it's big, the screen and code editors don't seem to have evolved. It seems heavily still focused on older java, leaving plugin implementation for other languages a little out of place. We were definitely not productive and we couldn't believe that it would be worthwhile to have a project in the Netbeans format and trust it in the long run. The documentation is highly incomplete and appears to have been mostly generated by javadoc about programming comments. Often you don't find what you need.

It's free, manages the project in a more professional way, that is, it's more intuitive how you have files and folders inside a project, even if it hides or blocks some settings or accesses. You have a sense of the "whole" of the project better than some other similar tools. It has support for several plugins and does bring some productivity. It is still one of the few tools that have a reasonable form editor.

It's slow, big and old. The structure and look looks dated, it puts a lot of emphasis on java swing, the IDE's tools look the same as when it was still from Sun, and it practically smells musty. It's amazing how such a promising project looks like it's been ostracized, it just breathes and it's alive, but it doesn't evolve.

Overall, Apache NetBeans is my favorite IDE to use when programming as it makes coding fun and easy by giving suggestions to compete or even edit/fix code. It's smart enough to suggest a fix by pressing the suggestion once and having all of its suggestions fixed at once. It is free/easy to use and definitely worth the try if you have enough storage space to use it fully.

What I love about Apache's NetBeans is that it makes it easy to write simple or complex code using any programming language. The software is smart enough that off of one letter or word, it can help you auto complete what you may want to write. Say for example if you want to do a print line, if you write System it could auto complete to System.Out.Println("");. While this may sound annoying, it saves a lot of time when it comes to writing thousands of lines of code.

What I like least about NetBeans is that it can take awhile to load when your storage is low and takes up a good amount of space. Also, while the software has many advanced tools/functionality, it takes some learning and getting used to it before you can use it right away.

At the beginning I found difficult to write code and building projects with this, but later on I was pretty good to use this tool, it's not difficult as I thought in my early days. I used to write java codes with Netbeans IDE, and it provides many features that makes my coding exercise interesting, I like the content assist feature of this tool. Overall my experience with Apache Netbeans is awesome.

* Great tool but compared to Intellije I think there are still some thing to do

* It's easy to download. You can download and use it immediately. * Easy to learn. You can develop Java, PHP, Javascript and many applications by using that software. * There are also paid plugins but even free plugins are enough to make development.

* Some plugins are really necessary such like some Maven / Git plugins but somehow we need to pay to enabled them. * IDE freezes if it's a big project.I think Netbeans is not suitable for big projects.I always receive heap space exception and try to increase the heap space to fix that problem.

I would recommend this great application for all Java developers.

I've tested a lot of versions of IDE for Java such as Eclipse, JEdit, IntelliJ IDEA, NetBeans, etc. and NetBeans is the easiest application in terms of installation, usage, check-in, and check-out from source controls such as SVN. It is very easy to add new libraries and switch among different Java platforms. The IntelliSense in NetBeans is great for code assistance. And NetBeans is a free application for download.

NetBeans may require a lot of resources if you have many projects concurrently open. NetBeans Low on Memory is a very well known error.

I'm using Netbeans since at least 10 years, I could solve all my PHP web server development needs with it, except when dealing with mixed and more complex projects having client side Angular framework, when had to use a different IDE. Generally Netbeans is a good option for newcomers, too.

The ease of use, nothing too fancy, extensibility with plugins, configurable shortcuts, integration with build tools, package (dependency) managers, built-in terminal, navigator, debugger support... a full featured IDE.

Updates are rare, refactorings for PHP are not many, javascript framework support is weak (take angular for example - can't jump in source code to definition)

I've used Netbeans to develop PHP websites and java applications. It is very easy to code and organize files and folders even on a big project. It offers automated debugging, automatic code compliations, and automation which made the development process flawless. Apart from that, the plugins offers more functionality to the table.

One of the biggest drawbacks of Netbeans is that it suddenly freezes and stops working for minutes. Also, it becomes too slow at times.

It is a very good IDE which is easy to use and easy fix errors. I recommend it for all software and web applications.

* Good support for desktop, mobile and web applications. * Easy to use as it has a simple and nice interface. * It supports different operating systems. * It supports many frameworks * Good support for multi language such as Java, JavaScript, PHP, C++ * A very good debugger

* Large consumption of memory especially when working on big projects * At time slow during runtime

Not bad, did its job.

Ease of use, great for beginners or the ones who want to start learning coding, as it won't write rhe majority of the code for yourself.

Not hinting and autocompleting inportant things

I used this IDE a lot for my projects in the past. It was enough some time ago, but nowadays I would prefer to use VS code or JetBrains products. But still, it was real pleasure to have same IDE for Java, C++ and Web. However a lot of alternative tools have much more to offer.

Free Multiple languages support Great font for code Great tool for novice programmer Easy to use

Code completion problems - in bigger frameworks like Yii or Laravel - freezing Lot of bugs, sometimes too slow Tools integration, not so many plugins
