Surpassed by the competition
Apache NetBeans is a good IDE, with good integration with Java. I would recommend it specifically to people that develop Java GUI applications with Swing. Its Swing integration is very intuitive, fully-featured and very reliable. Compared to Eclipse, working with Swing applications with NetBeans is a great option.
PROSNetBeans is easy to use and install. I used it mainly on the Windows platform, and I used it mainly to develop Java software and Java GUI Applications with Swing. Compared to other tools on the market, I think NetBeans has the best Swing support of all the IDEs I have tried (Eclipse tools have more bugs, Visual Studio Code does not natively support them). Its debugging tools are easy to use and very functional.
CONSNetBeans is usually slow to load and can be a resource hog. When working on my Mac laptop, battery drains quickly. I had many bugs using NetBeans v12 on Mac. I kept from updating to the newest version because I felt they were more stable for my workflow.
Reason for choosing Apache NetBeans
I did not choose Apache over the other tools.

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.

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.
