I'm using it for c development for the GT OMSCS Advanced Operating Systems course, and it was a life saver. I tried Eclipse, Sublime Text and plain old VIM. NetBeans got to stay. Why? it doesn't crash, it's lightweight, it works very well with GDB, good warnings / errors highlighting etc. I'm still checking the new 8 features, but I was missing things like introduce local variable or extract variable. can't wait till intellij release a decent C/C++ IDEA...
