I do wonder what is the master plan for NetBeans. Given that it is so much behind other IDEs I don't find any incentive to use it
VSC is slowly killing all small IDEs and I guess at some point it will be on par with more feature complete apps like Eclipse or Intellij.

Eclipse would kill everything else, but it often brakes with component updates. I had to switch to Codeblocks, because of this. Normally I was using Gnome text editor, but Eclipse offers great GDB integration. Codeblocks is worse in this case, but still better than using GDB from terminal.

Yeah I really wonder who is using Netbeans at this point. At least when it comes to JVM, pretty much everyone uses Intellij with some people still using Eclipse. For other JVM based languages people can also use Visual Studio Code (which has LSP integrations with languages such as Scala).

I'm using Netbeans for small Java projects. It works very well. Also it's free and open source in contrast to IntelliJ IDEA.

EDIT: IntelliJ IDEA Community Edition is open source since 2009.

It's almost as dead as Java for greenfield interactive apps.

You can just use QtCreator instead.

I've been using NetBeans IDE for more than 15 years and I still find it more stable and their components better integrated than Eclipse's. To me it's a pleasure to work with it.

Some months ago I decided to try other IDEs more seriously than I did in the past, because I wanted to experiment with other languages/frameworks. And I found out that the situation of Eclipse IDE is not much better: lots of plug-ins are abandoned or don't work at all. The experience was good, but I like NB more.

When I tried IntelliJ IDEA I felt almost at home. The integration reminded me a lot to NetBeans but with sterioids. So I paid for a license (I need Jakarta EE support). However, I still can't understand why the symbols (in the navigator or outline pane) can't be ordered by order of apparition (in Java source files). It's a really absurd to me.

And about VS Code... I've mixed feelings. It's the editor with more activity nowadays and covers LOTS of languages/frameworks, but to me, it's far from IDEs with regard to Java.

So nowadays, I'm trying to get used to IDEA. But I'm switching back to NB every time, because it's hard to make the switch after so many years (no IDE has everything I want). I wish LSP gave NB a 2nd life, but I guess it's too complicated.

For plain C? I'd probably check, but I don't want too much Qt on Gnome.
