I prefer Netbeans for what little Java programming I do anymore. It doesn't seem more intensive than Eclipse is (I've never used Intellij. I know, I know). I love Netbeans' code completion engine, in that it takes types into account, e.g. if it knows that you need a string for this parameter of the function you're calling, it will suggest string variables first, but in, say, Eclipse, it will put everything in there alphabetically (down to things like ints), regardless of type.

- electrum 8y agoIntelliJ completion takes into account both type and name. For example, if you have two string variables, it will suggest the one that matches or is similar to the method parameter name. In general, IntelliJ has a lot of features that feel like magic (likely a pile of smart heuristics that have been added over the years).
- mypalmike 8y agoAll the major Java IDEs take type and scope into consideration for code completion precedence. Eclipse did this at least as far back as around 2005 when I first was using it.
