If you tell me your beef with Netbeans I might be able to help.

I have significant experience with all big Java IDEs, 3 months full time with Visual Studio (in addition to testing it on and off for years). Use Sublime regularily. Can use vim productivily for server config. Have used emacs enough to get a taste of it.

But lately I find myself getting back to NetBeans whenever possible, not because of price but because of features, sensible defaults and stability.



It runs like a slug and sits atop a mountain of RAM that it hordes like a jealous dragon.

OTOH, my hobby programming is done on an HP Mini 101.


Ok I guess even I would possibly go with something else if I was seriously resource constrained.
