I agree that Eclipse sucks big time and what is more annoying is all the java "developers" trying to push it down our throats.

This is not the first time that IBM has churned up a crappy and non-intuitive program.... remember IBM Lotus notes?? (one of the most worthless, most hated programs on earth)

I'd have to agree. Netbeans, for all of it's performance issues, is far better designed then Eclipse from a usability perspective.

Switched from Eclipse to NetBeans for PHP/Ruby development few months ago and never looked back.

NetBeans performs well on Win7 at work and my personal OS X machine. The UI is light years ahead of Eclipse too, I used it for two years and some dialogs still didn't make sense.

I like this text: "I find it's UI difficult to understand. Sometimes simple things seems to be very difficult to do..." is very interesting, thanks for sharing!

I could n't agree more. I come from a visual studio background. I've decided to use NetBeans for my Java tasks as Eclipse is completely unintuitive, heavyweight, complex and hard to learn. I'm waiting for the day that .Net becomes ubiquitous in the Unix world through Mono. Microsoft still ownz you suckers! :D

This comes across as an immature (and maybe desparate? as in what will Oracle do with Netbeans?) flame bait post. So come on all, let's avoid an OS type flame war here.

I'm among the many who have tried Netbeans and IntelliJ many times over the years (with every major release) and basically have said the same negative things (and much more) that I'm hearing here about those two and have gone back to Eclipse each time. So let's agree to disagree. To each his or her own.

I'm sorry that Eclipse has become the de-facto Java IDE as we do need diversity, and competition certainly benefits all IDEs.

Until companies like Google just as an example (GWT/AppEngine and Android come to mind) release plugins for more than just Eclipse than we can see the "de-facto default Java IDE" label change.

I don't find Eclipse buggy but do find plenty of third party plugins buggy. Whomever has the largest installed base (and number of third party plugins) would consequently have the same problem as well as similar search results.

I'm posting anonymously as I'd like to remain IDE neutral - I certainly don't dictate to those who work for me or whom I work for which IDE to use.

Hello Alexander,
i agree to your opinion. When i have the choice, i use NetBeans and not the buggy Eclipse. Everytime when i work in teams where Eclipse is the favouried IDE, many hours are wasted with installation and configuration of plugins, to enhance Eclipse with features, which are onboard of other IDE's.

The last weeks i am evaluating IntelliJ IDEA 8, and it looks very good to me!

About Win95 part, I have no comments ;-) .
But with the search (Ctrl + H) , you can config with some clicks to only show "File Search" or "Java Search" , and that's it once and for all.

I barely see any software company force their developers to use Eclipse over other IDEs.
Even if there is, as long as you can prove your productivity and/or your responsibility when using NetBeans/IntelliJ/JDeveloper/whatever... you can discuss with them to consider an exception or a change :-)

!= QED

When we talk about logic, than you've made a real mistake:

Eclipse has a bigger market share than NetBeans. So you'll get more results for everything Eclipse related. Moreover Eclipse is ambiguous because there is not only the software called "Eclipse"...

According to your logic...

* "ferrari preferred" 136 Google results
* "volkswagen preferred" 1210 Google results

...Volkswagen cars are in general better than any Ferrari?! Ok, Volkswagen isn't bad at all but compared to a Ferrari...

Btw this calculus is very doubtful if you want to find out, which entity is better.

Let me try to argue with your logic:

Recently I've tested IntelliJ IDEA 9M1 and was amazed about its performance, stability and maturity. In fact it became my IDE of choice for GAE+GWT+Grails development :)

It's nice to see that I'm not alone in choosing NetBeans over Eclipse. The more I use the IDE the more I like it (I figured out how to use code templates with the tab key today!)
