The big question is, will these netbooks and such running chrome os have all the linux tools available, or is this going to be a certified google world, with google package management?
I stumbled onto using Netbeans for PHP a few months ago while doing some Java work. I use it almost exclusively for PHP now (I also use geany for quick edits). While it's not quite as slick as the Java support, it is a world better than anything else I've used. Also the subversion and mercurial integration kicks ass.
Hope oracle continues to support development, but if not, we have the source.
It's a few weeks old, but as someone pointed out to me, if it hasn't been posted, why not :)
This is a fascinating interview (who here even knew there was an AMD Java labs?). Some nice performance tips, and just a great listen for anyone into Java.
it seems really weird to me you find netbeans complicated. There's a reason java developers use bloated IDE's for anything more than quick edits. Spend a week in Netbeans and I bet you a lap dance you keep using it.
The toilet paper comment made me laugh hard though.
