A lot of fancy things, but less focus on the ones that I need. So, I did the switch and started using the solution from JetBrains, but it never stuck with me, because to me is still too complex. NetBeans indeed requires more resources to run properly. No one does great here (unless you are talking about text editors with Java compiler that is a different story).

So because of that, Netbeans become my default app to do my Java Programming, but Oracle came, and things change a little. Better Look & Feel: This is more based on a personal preference, but I prefer the default configuration from NetBeans compared with Eclipse.NetBeans simple Run without needed to create a Run Configuration and configure it (you can do it, but you are not mandated to do so) Simplicity in the Run Configuration: Still, I think most Java IDE makes things too complex just to run the code.To me, if I need to declare why at that time Netbeans was better than Eclipse, probably the main things will be these: Indeed, the number of plugins available was not comparable with Eclipse, but the things that it did, it did it awesomely. I think the first version I tried was in branch 3.x, and Sun Microsystem developed it at that time. So at that time is when I discover NetBeans. But I never thought that Eclipse was a great IDE, and it was too flexible but at the same time too complex.

If you are in the Enterprise Software industry, you have noticed that pretty much every Developer-based tool is based on Eclipse because its licensing and its community behind make the best option. The main choice was Eclipse at the university, but I have never been an Eclipse fan, and that has become a problem. I was always looking for the best IDE that I could find to speed up my programming tasks. Even that I first learned another less-known programming (Modula-2), I quickly jump to Java to do all the different assignments and pretty much every task on my journey as a student and later as a software engineer. I always have been a Java Developer since my time at University.
