Netbeans - Excellent IDE for PHP development
There are lots of editors out there for PHP, but Netbeans is one of the best out there for debugging
CONSDespite 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.
Reasons for switching to Apache NetBeans
Cost. Switching to open source was a huge benefit.

Powerful, reliable and easy to use for several kinds of systems engineering and development
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
PROSWorks 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.
CONSWith all these features, it is a heavy app. Demands a good machine.
Reason for choosing Apache NetBeans
Easy to use, and cost-benefit.
Reasons for switching to Apache NetBeans
Easier to work and configure than Eclipse, not a proprietary app like JBuilder or Visual J++

The perfect IDE for java and network development
A great introduction to IDEs and compilers letting me start my programming career in Java.
PROSNetbeans 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.
CONSComparing 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.
Reasons for switching to Apache NetBeans
We wanted something a little different compared to eclipse and it could feel slow at times in comparison.
