For the user who chooses to use it, they can start to work on the company's projects as soon as the IDE is up and running. No additional configuration is needed, just checkout projects from the VCS server and open it.

It has sped up our Java development. Regarding using Eclipse before, creating GUI forms became much faster and as well as the maintenance of them.

When you have to develop in Java, this IDE is ideal because it has many plugins that make your life easier. I can also add dependencies easily. 

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. 

Overall, for our company, it has been a good addition, as development times have been shortened using NetBeans. 

I use Vim for all small code changes, but I prefer using IDE for the following operations:

• When I want to work on large new code, and to move/copy code from file to file more quickly.
• Debugging.
• Project configuration, compiler flags, linker settings, and library addition.

It has helped my team develop better because of its versatility and functions.

Developer Productivity.

It has improved organizational productivity.

NetBeans has helped us to increase our productivity and defect solving since the IDE is smart. It has many functionalities, like debugging, auto compile, and auto resource resolving.
