Infrequently is just true for NetBeans, due to the problem that you need to
restart after you change the LaF. When I have a presentation with my FlatLaF
dark theme and I need to switch to light due to lights in the room etc. I need
to restart which is a mess, because it is not that fast to restart NetBeans in
a couple of seconds like IntelliJ. And also IntelliJ has not this problem. Yes
we will have more bugs due to restart needed, becuase of the ground problem of
the hardcoded stuff inside NetBeans. FlatLaF shows that this is possible,
IntelliJ shows that this is possible only NetBeans is not possible.
I prefer to fix as lot of hardcoded stuff as possible and if there are bugs we
can give a notification to the user: If you see any glitches, please try to
restart first. We all asked for: Can you please remove the user dir and the
cache stuff first (Which I think is also not nice over and over again, just
fixing symptons not the root problem) so why not here?
We have also restartless plugins, not all and for updating or for
deleting/deactivating it is not possible too but we should be more user
friendly and intuitive.
I guess that more and more people will switch their LaF if they don't need to
restart NetBeans again after doing this.

> As far as I know, there ia theming option for FlatLaF inside the FlatLaF
> demo. See my screencapture for more info. So it is possible via JSON to theme
> the LaF easy and restartless. IntelliJ is doing that and it works like a
> charm.
> The problem of NetBeans changing LaF is you often need to restart, because
> not all components are repainted correctly. But it seems that theming of
> FlatLaF is independent from NetBeans.
> So it would be nice, if we can switch the FlatLaF theme easy via NetBeans as
> it is possible in the FlatLaF demo which is located here:
> https://github.com/JFormDesigner/FlatLaf
> I already asked here: https://github.com/JFormDesigner/FlatLaf/issues/29
