>From a branding perspective, 10 and 11 sound better. 'NetBeans 10', 'NetBeans 11' is like a big, memorable release.
'NetBeans 11.0' underlines the work-in-progress nature of it. (Of course, after 11.0 there must be a 11.1?) I think calendar versioning (there's even a site for it https://calver.org/ ) is a much better approach. IntelliJ is using it and I'm also using it for CoolBeans. Semantic versioning (https://semver.org/ ) is also good, but too technical in a way. Speaking of calendar versioning, it wouldn't have been good for NetBeans 8.2. How would users feel about still using in 2019 'NetBeans 2016.12'? Doesn't sound very fresh, right? But if you *do* want to show that this is new, using 'NetBeans 2019.03' sounds really good! Of course, my 2c, no strong feelings about it. Just have a vote, and whatever wins wins. --emi http://coolbeans.xyz/ - CoolBeans: An IDE for Java, JavaEE, PHP and more!
