I strongly disagree with the ‘it just works’ comment. The amount of bugs you see when doing gui development in a stand-alone java application are just pathetic. Generally speaking I give the code quality a 3-4 out of a possible 10.

No, I believe NetBeans is PC of the IDE world with that vast compatibility. Or rather NetBeans is Java language of IDE world, very portable.

I spelt some wrong english words.
Oh, my god.
The right sentence as follows:
When I configure eclipse, I have many things to do.
And the most important factor is that netbeans has Chinese version, that is perfect.

I also do agree with you.

Well… you could… I am assuming you are getting at the Apple comment? I am not a fan of apple products myself, but I know that they push the “It just works” mantra down people’s throats, so it seemed like a relevant quote (I am of course assuming that it was not a sarcastic quote here). It does however ‘just work’ everywhere I have installed it.

I do not shave often (about once a week), but I do not wear a hoodie, nor am I ‘too-hip-for-this-planet’.

So if you use NetBeans you need to stop shaving, wear a hoodie and cop a too-hip-for-this-planet attitude right?

I do agree with you. I like NetBeans very much.It’ simplified works for developer. It saved me from boring download-config process.

I agree with you somewhat, NetBeans is great and it works straight out of the box but it’s because of Eclipses flexible plugin system that more and more businesses are using it. Don’t get me wrong, it can be a pain to configure but it’s really handy.

And usually people like choice in there plugins, surely many plugins that have different strengths and weaknesses that’ll better siut a job is better than being strapped to a single way. I mostly use Netbeans, but I also use Eclipse for things that NetBeans can’t do (and it’s getting to be a lot).
