NetBean, even more fun

I am not going to raise another holly war between netbeans and the eclipese IDE. But, even though eclipse ide worked great after little tweaking, i think everything work better after they are tweaked, I love netbeans for its simple and fast interface. I know, many of you already frowned as called netbeans fast ! Yes indedd. At least for C/C++ development. Netbeans appeared simply lightening fast. It easily replaced geany as my favorite IDE.

It is true, eclipse user base is very rich and so is its plug-in base. Almost all the necessary tools along with huge unnecessary ones (for a particular development view) can be found with eclipse. Especially the subversion plug-in... it is simply splendid). No worries.. I will download the svn module for netbeans. Hope it will not dishearten me :)

Lastly, I also admit, netbeans is very slow for java development. Last time I was developing a non-day-job project using jsp/struts. I choose netbeans and found that it takes all the memory of my computer. Again after tweaking for memory, it came up with much faster speed, even though an honest comment will be . SLOW.

But, if for C++ development, its simply great. Additionally, you can easily create UML design graphically by drag and drop; and then use it in your project ! One interesting feature of the UML module is that, here some of the design pattern templates are built in i.e. just select a pattern, give custom name click ok... you got the classes.

Finally, I am very happy with the new netbean.. I simply love it.
