I'm more than happy with Netbeans.

Due to massive memory leaks when running NetBeans on Mac, I can only use it for 30 mins max before I need to shut it down to reclaim RAM. It may be related to how many times I invoke the debugger.


Am I the only one seeing this?

I use it more on Mac than Eclipse (it seems to run a bit better than SWT apps) though on Windows I prefer Eclipse.

For me it's amazing, and now that the last version has Subversion integration is the only I will use.
Does all the things you say, and a lot munch more. The Refactoring specially is just wonderfull and works like a charm.

Refactoring in Eclipse is better. But NetBeans is catching up.

For me Eclipse is so slow and clumsy,

probably true on Mac more than Windows. SWT was such a misguided, bad idea.


and everything seems too complicated to do.

Probably it is just a matter of getting past the initial bump in the learning curve. I find that NetBeans is more awkward to use for general coding than Eclipse. But I suspect part of that is related to familiarity with the application. It seems I can get more done with less hotkeys to memorize in Eclipse. (ctrl-space for autocomplete and ctrl-1 for quick-fix cover soooo much)


Now I only need a perl editor plugin, and I am the happiest developer of the world :)

Well there you go.. when I look at Perl I want to run away screaming :) .. basically it shows how much these things are just a matter of personal preference. You've just got to try a few IDEs and settle on the one you are most comfortable with.
