NetBeans 4.1 Beta : More Developers Like What They See
posted Tuesday, 15 March 2005
| So people have started
installing NetBeans and guess what - they like
it. Since my blog came out I've noticed more than a few
people are experimenting with it. Some pretty nice reviews. The
short |
|
review at http://www.talios.com/read/1128653.htm
was pretty nice. Despite Mark's initial
"started up pretty
damn quick."
|
skepticism
with my blog mostly because I work for Sun - he tried it.
Surprise. NetBeans pleasantly surprised him both on start-up and on the
performance. He had other questions but he plans to spend more time
with it. Read the entire reaction. and his follow-up. I
think most people remember
|
the NetBeans of a year or two ago. It is much, much faster. Another
short review I found
| over at Mark Watson's blog
- Mark looked at NetBeans and he said "wow!". Mark is interested
in building at Java clients and he enjoyed the NetBeans GUI
builder. Mark mentioned taking the time to look at other
areas within NetBeans. He is happy that he has three great IDEs
to pick from. Read his comments - very cool.Okay so I wasn't exaggerating.
NetBeans is fast - and it is loaded with features. One of the many things
NetBeans does right is that it has the things you typically need
out-of-the-open-source-box. Need full J2EE - you've got
it, need to build web apps - you've got it. It goes on like
that. Need an XML editor - you got it. This is a very different
experience Eclipse which forces you
|
"NetBeans 4.1 performs pretty damn
quick, as well. A darn sight more responsive than Eclipse/GTK ever did
that for sure."
|
to scout around for even the
essential plugins. NetBeans has plugins as well but on essential
core technologies they are included. If you don't like a plug-in
you can always get rid of it. There's alot of other people
starting to use NetBeans, I will try and get their stories as
well.
