I know exactly what you mean, but I don’t mean the release of NB 9, I mean all other Releases. Often you have to wait 6 months or more for new Features etc. The community you can see it in slack, Twitter, Facebook asking for when will it be done, when is JS coming, when will we have better release cycles or new Features that other IDEs or Editors already have since ages (I know it is a bit exaggerated but it should be clear, what I mean). Those Things are real Problems too, not only for the current release.
NetBeans often lacks behind Features. No Vue Support, no full real Angular 2 Support, a lot of stuff that was not working under Oracle, often this is not possible with 3rd Party Plugins, because of the private APIs or whatever (See the Angular 2 template stuff inside html files or KendoUI Support, what Geertjan started, which is not possible anymore to work with, because it is not a friend plugin anymore). And if you compare NetBeans with big competitors like IntelliJ/PHPStorm/WebStorm or Eclipse or VS Code, we must Change smth, we have to. I don’t mean, that we have to have this politics like: Get Things done fast. But I think if we have a better Pipeline and a better QA process and whatever, that we can save 2 months (Remove NetCat) because that is not needed. 2 Months that can save time from maybe 6 Months + 2 Months NetCat to only 6 or less. I prefer 3 months too, as we can see it now, we have some new PRs and sure we will have more and more. People are waiting for new stuff, etc. And as I said, it is not only about NB 9.

For me personally quality is the most precious feature. I know that we all have been waiting for NetBeans 9.0 for more than a year now but good things need time. ;) Regarding release frequency, we should release only when it makes sense i.e. when a set of interesting new features is implemented together with a handful of critical bug fixes. Let's not follow the modern but insane corporate paranoia: "We must get it out quickly otherwise competition will be far ahead!" which only leads to frustration and disappointment both among development teams and end users. We are true open source project now! I don't want to go back to date driven release trains at all cost. -Jirka Dne 23.2.2018 v 17:03 cowwoc napsal(a): > Same here. Stability first.
