Re: Eclipse Vs. NetBeans

Use whatever IDE integrates best with the language and tools you are using, and you are most comfortable with.


I've worked with graphical languages which are their own IDE's (LabVIEW/Simulink), and IDE's like MATLAB, EasyC/RobotC (VEX), MPLAB (IFI/VEX), Eclipse (Android dev), Notepad++, and others. I've also worked with just gedit to write a lot of fairly simple Perl scripts.


I never really felt that any one of the above editors was limiting me except for EasyC (that editor as a text editor is awful). In most cases, I used the editor I was given or the editor that worked with the build chain. In many embedded cases, the build chain is designed to work with a single editor, or even integrated directly into the editor, so you use what you can.
