Apache NetBeans Reviews

Summary: NetBeans is a great open source IDE and is free to use. It supports a range of languages. In my personal use for Java development, the host of features it offered such as code completion, code analyzer, debugger & plugin support were really great for a free tool.

Positive: Open Source & free
Good code completion
Code Analyzer & converter for latest Java versions
Great debugging feature
Plugin support
Cross platform availability

Negative: It's not very well optimized in terms of memory usage.
Slow loading times especially for larger projects.

Summary: I have started using NetBeans during my undergraduate college. I have worked on many projects using Netbeans. It is a very cool interface and supports many programming languages, the suggestions for code are very good. The only problem I always used to face is that the launch time is too much and running applications in the background slows Netbeans. But on an overall level, Netbeans is a very good platform.

Positive: (+) Easy to set up and use a very good interface.
(+) Supports many programming languages like java, c++, PHP, and many others.
(+) Code suggestions are very efficient.
(+) Debugging is easy, step by step
(+) Support for multiple platforms like ubuntu, mac, windows

Negative: (-) It becomes slow when you have background operations.
(-) Plugins can be improved for web apps.
(-) Searching for words in code can be fast.
(-) Launch time is slow.

Summary: Apache Netbeans is a good full stack IDE for beginners interested in Java and php development. It supports plugins for added functionality.

Positive: Apache Netbeans is an IDE which can be used for both java, php and frontend development. It is free, open source and has a great community support. It can also be used cross platform.

Negative: Unlike PhpStorm it lacks advanced features like intelligent autocomplete and dedicated framework support

Summary: When installed correctly, Apache NetBeans can be a very useful application to use for coding. It has the ability to hold thousands of codes and it proves to be useful in debugging lines of codes when encountering a problem. An overall good experience.

Positive: NetBeans has proved to be a great IDE for compiling Java Applications. It can be used to code your own programs as well as trying out and debugging codes filled with errors.

Negative: The setup can be quite tedious especially for people who aren't too computer literate. They're going to have a hard time installing the IDE by itself because of the complicated instructions.
