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.

I would try it again and it was good for the java world and development

Great product that was fast at compiling and giving me answers to questions, great at picking out errors and very prompt and thorough about it.

Not that great with startup or switching environments or even switching jve, jvm

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.

I used Netbeans over 2 years and I have good impression with Netbeans, but it has old fashioned design and IDE. You can still use Netbeans for Java and servlet code.

It is easy to code your programme with Netbeans, but the technology is quite old and there are lots of IDE to use while you can code Java program.

Netbeans has old fashioned dashboard and environment tool for programming, you can still code your programmes but there are lots of other tools that you can use for programming.

I loved its smart code completion features and suggestion features of classes, methods and variables in Java. Its Gui builder is also very good and easy to use. Its built-in debugger was also good and was really useful for me.

I think it is taking too many resources and feels laggy sometimes when running heavy projects. Using it feels heavy than using other lighter 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.

Average tool , good to use for a beginner developer

The code editor is good to user with library addition funcnalities

The integration and setups is very time consuming and required heavy hardware cofiguration

I have using this since my High School, College and University days. It is an awesome IDE which mainly runs Java but I use it actively for C++, C and sometimes even for interpreted languages like Php. It has a great interface which is easy to work with and is very stable. One of the perks of using this is that its and open source software so you do not really need to pay anything for using it.

It does tend to be a little slow and heavy to start up especially if you are running an older PC running a processor like Intel i3. But yes even on those machines once it starts up, you will notice no problems. Apart from that its an aweosme tool and there are absolutely no complaints.

We were developing and supporting Java application and NetBeans was a hands-down choice at that time. it can be integrated with selenium to perform automation testing too. Most cases team has to read documentation and rely on the community to solve issues but NetBeans is one of the software that has strong community support.

It runs on both windows and Linux platform well. NetBeans can setup and synced with GitHub so it can be accessed by several team members. Also it has a very strong user community.

NetBeans crashes sometimes when we use it for longer time and it can consume lots of memory which cause the system to be slower. Moreover compiling code is slower than competing IDEs

Almost all the functions are available at NetBeans. It is very much useful in web designing and programming. Now I have more than two years’ experience with NetBeans and I can highly recommend NetBeans for you.

NetBeans IDE is a very good coding option which is free and open source. I prefer NetBeans because it is the easiest and brilliant way to code that I’ve ever found. There is no big deal with downloading and installing NetBeans. It is platform independence also.( Can be installed on LINUX,Windows,OS X and UNIX based OS etc. ) At first I thought it was just a java IDE. But it is facilitate some other languages like PHP,C,C++,JS etc. Beginners for coding can learn easily through NetBeans as it is well organized. Using visual debugger, one can identify the errors in the program.

NetBeans IDE is just perfect. But here some issues I had with NetBeans, • It is uncomfortable to use some libraries in NetBeans. • Becomes slow when running many projects. • There are some paid versions of tools.

great software, easy to use. Enough documentation to get started, but a user eventually need to learn on his own. If you have got all the required hardware and followed all the installation steps properly, You can create powerful applications.

I have been using Netbeans for years now and I absolutely love it! Netbeans and Eclipse are very popular software for JAVA development , but in Netbeans you can create the App UI by simply dragging and dropping UI elements on a form. This helps in creating better UIs and save a lot of development time.

Need high memory hardware to run fast. The software freeze sometimes completely when monitor is locked.

Great! I have tried number of tools (mainly for backend PHP work) in recent years, all of them had pros and cons. The NetBeans stays for me the most intuitive and reliable web development tool.

It's Free! LTS versions and relise schedule. Alows Settings export (restoration); Multiplatform - I use it mostly on Windows, but when had to install it on an Mac Mini - I meet same expirience.

Plugins availability has to be extended; Some of the availiable tools do not work smooth on windows (most of that is caused by the OS itself. on Mac OS, needed for them paths were easily for configuration)

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
