Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros

More JetBrains IDEs Pros →

"When you have to develop in Java, this IDE is ideal because it has many plugins that make your life easier... For example, when working with Hibernate or with JPA, creating entities is very easy through a graphical interface.""It comes out of package fully-loaded with a lot of great features for web development.""Large scale of projects, templates, and coding support.""C++ 11 support (for a long time)""It is easy to deploy, manage servers, and ORMS resources.""One of the most important features is that Apache Maven supports it.""Server Support""The learning curve is easy and fast because the interface is simple and intuitive, enabling us to easily train developers who are not expert in metrics."

Cons
"One of the most important things to improve is the consumption of resources, mainly memory.""Sometimes, plugins (from third parties) are not updated."

More JetBrains IDEs Cons →

"One of main areas that the tool can improve is performance.""I would like there to be better integration with Git, as there are IDEs such as Eclipse that offer this integration in a much more elegant way than NetBeans.""There are always rooms for improvement for any product. The good thing with NetBeans is that since it is Open Source, you can just go ahead and contribute whatever you want to change yourself.""Background scanning of sources on demand, disallowed by Options (processor usage, build cannot be deleted by the old version build).""t is a very heavy load on the computer, especially when you compare with Sublime Text Limited plugins and themes.""The debugging mechanize could be improved compared to IntelliJ, for example.""Debugging: Watches, Evaluate Expression, and data inspection are limited."
