Netbeans a all in one solution

Post by dejai »

Eclipse rings bells as soon as you hear the words, "an all in one IDE solution". A more hardened programmer would possibly laugh at the idea of an IDE and possibly even at the idea of a debugger however this is certainly not the case for all programming experts. However now sun Microsystems has come out with a lovely little program called NetBeans. Don't let the name confuse you a little look on slashdot found this engine. Its licensed under one of the open source licenses and I have just installed it on windows and its now capable of java, c++, php and xml. Anyway the IDE does not really make much of a difference, linus programmed most of the kernel with GCC and a little text editor called MG. My question to you is what IDEs do you use and why? And what do you think of this one?

That sounds pretty cool, but I only really need C/++. I learned Java in school, but I really don't have a use for it. I use XML at work, but they wouldn't let me install this. Hopefully I won't be doing PHP either, that's why we have web developers.

I use Visual Studio. I'm sure you aren't a huge fan of it, haha.

I use Code::Blocks. I used to use Dev-C++, but for some reason I like Code::Blocks more. It all boils down to personal preference I suppose.

I used Code::Blocks but I couldn't get it to stop crashing, so I went back to visual studio. And I have to use VS2008 professionally now, so...
I realized the moment I fell into the fissure that the book would not be destroyed as I had planned.

Strange.. similar to Lusikka's reasoning for no longer using Dev-C++. I've never had either crash on me, maybe what I'm doing isn't quite as intensive as what the two of you do?

I use Geany. It's the best IDE I've ever used, at least for what I actually care about. Very lightweight.

Gyrovorbis I congratulate you for reading one of my rants. Anyway I usually use code blocks, I don't use dev C++ as I think they have stop development and it doesn't provide for all my needs... And Netbeans seems like the general direction I want to be heading in. I also want to do some mg / gcc projects to get a better idea of how to compile using gcc but we may as well use the best tools available to us :D
