Comment on My Eclipse experience with Java 8 was so bad, I switched to NetBeansparent

Nope, I like it as well, though not much coding going on I like the simple easy IDE like Netbeans and mostly done python and C using it.

I think though it may more appeaal to those who grew up with many windows open and using CDE with windows for editing/testing/debug etc style simple approach.

For java it does have motivations to work well and that is apparent, so for java is safe bet.

But like clothes, IDE's really do get down to user preferences and style I believe for many and still oftenhave few shell terminals open approach for me still keeps me happy. But I know vi really well and with that it is the tools we fully understand that allow us to become production and focus upon the code/task at hand. So no single IDE will ever fit everybodies tastes and style of use.

But I like Netbeans and mindful many seem to view it as yesterdays news, for many it just gets the job done.

Though for Golang liteIDE seems to be my option of choice. Also last time I looked into android dev work Eclipse seemed the sain option. So each language has its own bias IDE wise and many IDE's bias towards a language or two. I can undersatnd Eclipse works well for more languages than most, but still nice to have a choice. But using different IDE's for different languages is not ideal, it is a easy sain option for many and with that the right tools for the right job for the right person plays true.

Netbeans dropped support for Python, so I guess you'll only use it for C now.

Actually I am using it with NebBeans 8 ( http://wiki.netbeans.org/PythonInstall ).

Or an older version of Netbeans, as is the case currently. Cheers for heads up, one uneeded update I can avoid when bored and thought was a good idea at the time.
