Sorry for a small vent, I wanted to provide a bit of context What is VS Code? And I was quite surprised with the end results

So I started to look around for a lightweight but still feature rich editor which I could use for Java coding.

Not an easy decision given my history with it, but… the current NetBeans 10 is hardly the cool and efficient IDE anymore which I came to love and respect. I didn’t fully time it but I did compare it to two other programs developed in Java: Minecraft and Visual Paradigm, and both of which start way faster than NetBeans! I also wasn’t very pleased to see NetBeans lose support for Java EE for well over a year now, even though deployment can be as simple as running the right Ant task.Īnd so I decided to replace NetBeans with something else. … yet an IDE such as NetBeans takes around 2 -3 minutes to start. My PC can run games such as GTA 5 with the graphical settings set to ultra and high. Fun fact: It’s because of NetBeans that I discovered Visual Paradigm in the first place! So when I was setting up my new PC I obviously wanted to get the latest NetBeans version as well. I’ve been using the NetBeans Java IDE for as long as I’ve been using Visual Paradigm.

The nice thing about getting a new PC and then installing all your software again is that it gives you a good fresh look at your current setup which may even help you to improve on some things.Īnd sometimes things turn out to be a bit of a disappointment
