I worked at a place that had a large netbeans rich client platform app (phone reps used it to access customer data during calls, among other things), we used netbeans to develop it obviously. I always liked netbeans, it was pretty solid, and a lot more performant than eclipse imo. Nowadays with everyone moving to "language server" support, the barrier to implementing the typical IDE stuff is a lot lower (code completion ie intellisense, error highlighting, etc) This is a good thing.
