I'm also currently trying to evaluate and find good IDE and gui editor.
But what I found was netbeans deveolper non commercial only. I found
other
programs like Simplicity and Visaj but their evaluation version is
function
limited only netbean developer works without founction limitation. But
its
speed in my laptop( pentium 133, 40 mb RAM ) is poor. Their
recommendation
is maybe PII, 98 MB RAM, I think. Hope this might help you.
