Eclipse is Owning. . . =P
Im also a Netbeans user. 6.1 is not that slow anymore. NEtbeans is a userfriendly IDE. You have the option to hardcode or use the build in feature. Just click and drag and the Netbeans will generate the code. The Only downfall is you need a LOT of RAM! about 1GB minimum if you will use j2EE. =) If you are running on 256mb the Compiling time and dispatch time of J2EE is around 12-15 Minutes per 1 set of Codes. =( But the Best part of Netbeans 6.0.1 and 6.1 is how the IDE handles error. There is this new Squiggle in 6.0.1 and 6.1 it is in color Yellow and Gray. The red means error and clicking the sidebar will show you the error and possible solutions. The Yellow Squiggle, tells that you are most likely double declaring the same variable. And the Gray Squiggle tells you that you havent used that Variable yet or havent used at all. ^_^ Netbeans is a Great IDE for Begginers. =P You can also add the javadocs to the IDE so that when you press Ctrl+Space it also shows the description of the command you selected. =P
