Please suggest any part of NetBeans that makes it superior to Eclipse, IntelliJ

I'm not familiar with Visual Studio Code, but I've used NetBeans, Eclipse, and IntelliJ off and on for years. NetBeans is the only IDE that makes it easy to develop software for all of the following:

- native C libraries,
- cross-platform C libraries (compiling for ARM on Intel),
- Java applications,
- Java Web applications (servlets), and
- all the browser stuff (HTML, CSS, JavaScript).

Furthermore, I can set up remote Java platforms to run and debug my Java applications on remote devices over an SSH connection. And NetBeans does it almost out of the box after installing a few trouble-free plug-ins.

The only thing that made me keep trying the others was the decade-long font problem that NetBeans had on Debian distributions like Ubuntu. [1] All that time, Eclipse and IntelliJ had great-looking fonts. But now even that problem is fixed! [2]

Thanks,
John
