Pros
Real-time debugging...even better than NetBeans Suggests FIXES for errors in your code, and has one-click fixes for all common errors! Makes it super easy to set up a project, edit libraries, etc.

Brings new definition to slothful application development
rickp38June 6, 2007
Pros
Nice fonts and colors.
Cons
You'll step back in time 10 years... if you enjoy that kind of thing. Plugins... lovely... Takes so many hours and so much cobbling together to get anything resembling productivity that it simply isn't worth it. Each individual project is so very over engineered, thus applications developed on them are over engineered. Complexity introduced for the sake of complexity is not really the most sought after attribute of a development environment or application framework. So much work to get so little done...
Summary
incredible free IDE
lee9372April 14, 2007
Pros
It's incredible. This free IDE allows one to program in perl, php, java, python, ruby, c++ cold fusion and J2EE, under on roof.
Cons
Only downside is that this IDE start with few plug-ins. I had to install plugins to get the features I wanted.
Summary
Almost too hard to believe its free!!

Pros
This IDE is a programmer's dream! From my experience, this even rivals Borland's JBuilder masterpiece! The amount of plugins are mindblowing! This is definitely a keeper!
Cons
