About

Powerful and customizable text editor with support for a huge list of programming languages and developed as open source. Making multiple changes at once, swapping pieces of code, and a lot more is made trivial with TextMate’s easy way to add multiple insertion points. Select what you want to search, what you want to search for, and TextMate will present the results in a way that makes it easy to jump between matches, extract matched text, or preview desired replacements. See what files have changes in the file browser view, what lines have changes in the editor view, bring up a diff of the current file’s changes, commit a subset, TextMate supports it all for all the major version control systems. One file mixing languages? Projects using different build systems? Third party code with different formatting preferences? TextMate can handle it all by associating detailed scope selectors with key shortcuts, settings, etc.

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

  • All good for code editing. Syntax highlighting for every language I ever tried, code folding, custom tabs/spaces. Updates are easy and it gets syntax packages automatically if you open/save a new file type. Hybrid view of markdown, special characters and formatting both shown.

Cons

  • It's not an IDE, you won't get much help beyond auto closing brackets and quotes.
