Darn... this can't be true!
NetBeans IDE is one of the most popular IDE's, probably used by the Java community, mainly.
There are tons of plugins and it has an intuitive GUI - IMO. (Better than Eclipse IDE.)
Eclipse is utterly unusable to me after I got used to the ease of use and straightforwardness of NetBeans. A seriously great IDE that I HIGHLY recommend.
While I admit Netbeans can be quite slow even on my fairly beefy computers, the feature set and ease of use is in a class of its own. Four stars because it's a memory hog, but would be 5 stars otherwise.
