Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Apache Netbeans is an IDE which can be used for both java, php and frontend development. It is free, open source and has a great community support. It can also be used cross platform.
  • Open Source & free Good code completion Code Analyzer & converter for latest Java versions Great debugging feature Plugin support Cross platform availability
  • (+) Easy to set up and use a very good interface. (+) Supports many programming languages like java, c++, PHP, and many others. (+) Code suggestions are very efficient. (+) Debugging is easy, step by step (+) Support for multiple platforms like ubuntu, mac, windows
  • NetBeans has proved to be a great IDE for compiling Java Applications. It can be used to code your own programs as well as trying out and debugging codes filled with errors.

Cons

  • Unlike PhpStorm it lacks advanced features like intelligent autocomplete and dedicated framework support
  • It's not very well optimized in terms of memory usage. Slow loading times especially for larger projects.
  • (-) It becomes slow when you have background operations. (-) Plugins can be improved for web apps. (-) Searching for words in code can be fast. (-) Launch time is slow.
  • The setup can be quite tedious especially for people who aren't too computer literate. They're going to have a hard time installing the IDE by itself because of the complicated instructions.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • I'm not an HTML / CSS/ ... person, but I have built and maintained my personal sailing / nerd web pages (40 different pages, and counting) for many years, using only SeaMonkey Composer. WYSIWYG make it super easy to use. And free. I don't use the other SeaMonkey tools, just the editor. It is the successor from Netscape, so lots of history.
  • Complete suite of applications for internet usage Free to use Lightweight feature rich browser based on Firefox Email & IRC Chat client Composer - powerful HTML editor Regular Updates Large number of add-ons, themes & extensions Great community support

Cons

  • I'm sure there are better and more modern tools for making simple web pages, but none as easy and cheap as SeaMonkey. I can't make fancy, active web pages with it. I use external blogs for that, and just include links. Same with Youtube videos.
  • It is excellent - simple and powerful - for those who just want pure functionality. It is not widely popular due to its old look and no marketing.
