The NetBeans project recently released the second beta of version 5.5 of its IDE. At the same time, NetBeans 6.0 is at its second milestone release. Artima spoke with NetBeans evangelist Tim Boudreau about new NetBeans features and about the NetBeans community. In Part I, he discusses upcoming features of NetBeans 6.0, and compares the NetBeans and Eclipse approaches to open-source IDE development. In Part II, Boudreau talks about the NetBeans rich-client platform, how the NetBeans Matisse UI builder and GroupLayout layout manager address the challenges of cross-platform and internationalized UI design, and about support for languages other than Java in NetBeans.

I have used Netbeans 5.0 and JDeveloper on low-end 600 MHz, 256 MB ram laptops and netbeans was WAY faster.
I don't know what to say..
Wow
Every computer I've tried Netbeans/Eclipse/JDeveloper on, Netbeans was always way slower that the other two.
However I always used them on 2 GHz/1 GB RAM computers (or better), maybe that's why. And the difference was so obvious - from simply browsing the main menu to.. well, everything else (code completion, etc). JDev and Eclipse were always much faster, more responsive..
Very strange, but good to know things can go the other way too, I guess
