NetBeans vs Eclipse ? For some cases it maybe possible/practical to pick a different IDE for the given task at hand. However, there is nothing like investing sufficient time in one IDE to maximize your personal productivity.
If you take a little time to learn the tools, I'll bet is can be customized to meet your exact needs(Emacs/Vi/... anyone). I choose eclipse because it contains a plugin structure that is VERY well supported and actively developed. This means I am offered every language I plan to use, and the editor itself has great keyboard and GUI features. Yes, its and effort to learn; but it is very useful out of the box for a newbie. Consider non-obvious options, like DUAL 20inch WIDE SCREENS, to maximize the tools screen space and effect. Sometimes a real good desk chair also helps. Anyway, I think eclipse is worth the effort. To use it as a part of class on programming requires the same amount of effort and any other modern IDE; use what you know. Ok, so it looks like I'm the sole RED HAT Fedora user, and maybe the eclipse lone ranger...
