Top 5 Reasons why I use Netbeans

1. Matisse GUI Builder
Gotta love it. Ain't no GUI builder like Matisse and I'll fist fight you over it.
Just kidding :)

2. Collaboration Module
If you do any collaborative coding, that is, if you need to show someone else a piece of code and allow that person to correct it (or mess it up), than this is for you. You really should try it.
It's like an IM inside Netbeans.

3. Java DB
Netbeans doesn't come with it out of the box, but it has some integration from the start.
I migrated all of my MySQL apps to Java DB/Derby. You can't beat a 2Mb footprint, not to mention how easy it is to embed it into an application.

4. Profiler
If you work with threads and synchronization this will save you A LOT of time.
I recommend using it while listening to The Police's 'Synchronicity' record. Kick ass album.

5. Mobility Pack
Right, then you'll want to write your own version of Tetris for your cell phone because you don't wanna pay five bucks or so to your cell phone provider. Or maybe write some 'real' mobile apps. It doesn't get any simpler than this.

And I hear Netbeans 6.0 had it's code editor reworked and it's faster.
Can't wait to get my hands on it.
