It’s still quite a challenge to understand the meaning of being an Apache project. :-)
Apache projects do not compete. They exist for those who want to use them and are developed by those who want to develop them. A proposal in an Apache project is a pull request. There is no IDE or editor that is as innovative as NetBeans when it comes to these simple principles. Want NetBeans to be different? Provide a pull request.
