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). Fewer Memory Resources: Let’s be honest: All IDE consumes tons of memory.Better performance: It is clear that the response time from the IDE is better with IntelliJ IDEA than NetBeans because it doesn’t come from an almost 20-years journey, and it could start from scratch and use modern approaches for the GUI.

I’ve tried several times in my idea to try to feel the same feelings that others did, and I could read the different articles, and I acknowledge some of the advantages of the solution:

This is the fancy option, the one most developers used today for Java programming, and I can understand why. I continued loyal to NetBeans even that we had another big guy in the competition: IntelliJ IDEA. It is not that they deprecated the product, but Oracle had a different IDE at the time JDeveloper, which was the main choice. With the acquisition of Sun Microsystems from Oracle, NetBeans was stalled like many other Open source projects. So because of that, Netbeans become my default app to do my Java Programming, but Oracle came, and things change a little.

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.
#Netbeans vs eclipse software
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.
