NetBeans versus IntelliJ
It appears there is a new release for NetBeans IDE. We now have NetBeans 4.0 to download and check out. It's got a lot of new features and support and now I have to decide whether or not to try out this new version or stick with the best IDE for JAVA I have found to date; IntelliJ IDEA. I've used NetBeans exclusively before I tried IntelliJ and I instantly switched to the ease of use that IntelliJ IDEA provided JAVA developers. Now it's time to reevaluate and see what NetBeans 4.0 brings to the table.

Out of all, I would prefer Eclipse,Free,OpenSource,and the best one.

I think the author was comparing primarily on functionality since he already has IntelliJ and was thinking of switching to NetBeans. I don't think that cost was an issue at this point. Maybe if the title was "Comparison of freeware IDEs" then I could agree with comments, but the title is "NetBeans versus IntelliJ" so I would think that the comparison is on functions and not price.
I prefer IntelliJ IDEA but the fact is it is not ideal to compare a freeware to a 499$ worth software
You're kidding, right? InteliJ IDEA costs $499 USD... NetBeans doesn't cost a cent. You should be comparing freeware IDEs to freeware IDEs, and commercial IDEs to commercial IDEs.
I'll be sticking with IntelliJ IDEA. It's just too good. I like the new NetBeans but IntelliJ IDEA still has what it takes to get the job done. Nice, easy and elegant.
He likes notepad and javac the best.
So, what is the verdict? Which do you prefer now?
Man, was this a useless article! Going to so much length to beautify and present a personal to-do item, and then luring people with a promising title.
