Netbeans Or Eclipse

General Miscellaneous
66

Hi,

I used to code with Notepad++ for quick fixes with remote FTP, and Eclipse or Aptana for bigger things.

I confess having discovered NetBeans not so long ago, and i’m not yet confortable with it, but seems fast and stable.

Some trubles when it comes to git acces, but anyway i’m using the Ubuntu command line for that.

We"ll see, but it could become the first choice.

Did you know anything that could be "better" tant Eclipse or NetBeans ?

SublimeText2, cross "OS" (Windows,Linux and MacOS)

Eclipse has a plugin for Yii, it’s cool.

68

Netbeans, both on linux and windows. For quick editing SublimeText 2

69

for free always netbeans, if You want to pay phpStorm is the best for me

Now i use phpstorm but some autocomplete tool not work. Yii::app()->user…

I follow this http://www.yiiframework.com/wiki/92/configuring-phpstorm-ide-for-yii/

71

Quote! =D

72

Is any other IDE dealing with this any better?

But I love PHPStorm, never would go back to Eclipse. For some smaller things I use Notepad++, though there is a plugin (called scratch) which is useful if you want to format code quickly without creating an project.

73

Netbeans ::) , the best one

74

Switched from Eclipse to Phpstorm, after I managed once again to make the IDE unusable (never install updates on that thing…) and I just like it. It feels really good.

75

Maybe Netbeans does it all, which doesn’t change the fact, that Netbeans is ugly slow!

Back in 2010, when I started using Netbeans, it was fast like a hell (in terms of Java applications, where all of them are generally slow) and Eclipse seems to be sooou slooow. Few months after, with release of NB7 they’ve implemented “slowness detector” (which actually killed me off laughing, first time I saw it) and then my nightmare started.

I simply can’t afford, on dual-processor notebook with 4 GB or RAM and Windows 7, to wait 5-10 seconds between I double click an item in project’s tree and file is actually opened. I’m trying to learn calmness and emotion-less peace (again), but this is beyond what I can accept.

So, after over-two-years of randez-vous with Netbeans, I finally decided to go back to Eclipse.

76

I am a happy Sublime Text 2 user. ;)

It is blazingly fast and extremely productive.

Sublime 3 is going to be even speedier, and it features better code navigation…

77

Personally I prefer Netbeans over Eclipse.

78

Here’s my path:

[list=1]

[*]I’ve used Netbeans for quite some time (2 years or so) until I got fed up with it

[*]Switched to Sublime Text 2 after that and got a decent setup with a lot of plugins. But I never got code hinting (not code completion) to work. ST2 has so many cool and useful features but I am really missing this one

[*]Tested out PHPStorm and finally switched to it. It is like a faster Netbeans, with a lot of nice features to ease deployment and testing.

[/list]

So here’s my suggestion: If you are working on a small project and you know the code in and out => use ST2. If you need more sophisticated stuff PHPStorm is the better tool IMHO. ST2 is cool and fast and the text editing functionalities are priceless but you end up installing 100 plugins to do what you need at some level which totally kills its purpose I guess.

79

I started out with PhpEd which I liked.

Then, out of curiosity, I tested PhpStorm and decided to switch.

Auto complete isn’t perfect, but other than that, I’m very happy with it. I’m very impressed with the support and the speed these people keep adding new features.

Go for NetBeans! Got a great Plugin for Yii Projects.

PHP storm is the best. Fast than both of them, and have a beautiful and feature-rich GUI. I hate zend studio and eclipse, because they are slow and stupid. when you want to import project you need to cut the code outside your webroot and re-import again, WTF. IDEs like netBeans and PhpStorm could scan your webroot and auto import the project you need, much more convenience right? eclipse is too old, but his successors are growing very well. so let us just bury it with respect.

Plus, Alexander wrote a wiki article about how to config PhpStorm for Yii developing. the IDE originally support Yii and Symfony integration. And Yii team support a PhpStorm plugin called Yiistorm for better code suggestion as well. In a word, it is good for Yii developing.

plus+, you can use back your coding habit, so that you can use your shortcut setting for vim for PhpStorm. For example, i used to code java on NetBeans, i like the Alt+Shift+F (formatting code). i config PhpStorm and let it use netbeans shortcut config it performed exactly the same as what i expected.

The best thing of using PhpStorm is when you are contributing your code for open-source project, you can apply for free open-source license. Wish you have a better developing life, cheers.

ok, took notice. Thanks for your contribution

successors? what [size="2"]successors? [/size]

[size="2"]you mean Storm & the like?[/size]

Thanks

Phpstrom is a very good choice. But if you develop in java, android as well the it would be better to go for intellij idea

85

Just my 5 cents.

PHPEd version 11 got Yii support. Unfortunately, Yii 1.xx only at the moment.

As for me two main feature is:

  • code completion inside views for $this and variables, passed via render() call

  • code completion for properties declared in CActiveRecord::relations()
