FOR THE DEVS: What IDE Do You Use? IntelliJ, Eclipse or Other?

[ItsMac]

As of our current team, the entire MCGamer development team uses NetBeans.

Thank you so much Devin! I am certainly going to start using NetBeans as you guys are my inspiration.

I use IntelliJ Idea 13.
Holla holla get dolla.

Yeah I was going to use that until I heard that the Devs use NetBeans, and I was previously using Eclipse.

Don't feel pressured to switch IDEs - it's all a matter of personal preference. Using one IDE or another doesn't make you code better. I've tried all 3 of the major IDEs (NetBeans, Eclipse, IntelliJ), but I've personally found that I like NetBeans most.

Yeah, I didn't exactly feel pressured to switch as switching to the IDE that you used was the goal I was trying to achieve by posting this thread. I now have Netbeans and I would have to agree with you that it is superior to the other "popular" IDEs. I like the feel of it and I think the layout is less confusing and cleaner.

I can confirm that basically our entire dev team uses NetBeans for Java coding. However, don't fall into the pitfall of thinking that certain IDE's make you a better coder. IDE's are simply the workspace you code in, and it's simply a matter of personal preference.

In my Java class, we started coding in notepad. Seriously, we wrote the code into a .txt file, then compiled it manually via command line. It was emulating life before IDE's, and it sucked.
Then we got into Eclipse, which was finicky but super powerful. Half of the class couldn't get Eclipse to run on their systems and had to drop out, but the other half of the class was on easy street afterwards. Then, it wasn't a matter of learning how to code Java, it was a matter of learning how to make Eclipse code for you.
Eclipse eventually broke, then I switched gears to coding C++, and now I've been a NetBeans conversion ever since.

I remember doing some coding in an engineering class. It was using it's own language, but it was a lot like C++. But it used a program called RobotC, and we used it to program some basic functions for robots that we built.

I sucked at it though...

You must be like me- I don't get any of the stuff you are saying, I don't even know what an IDE is.. I'm bad.

Thank you for that, Col_StaR. Do you also know how to code java, Bukkit Style?
