I really like the way how IntelliJ does it, it is very user friendly and we 
also have the first dialog which is „Import Settings“. This could be a good 
place to do more custom stuff.

What Neil mean is the dialog, if you open NetBeans, for the first time, twice. 
There is this „would you like to send statistics“ dialog after NetBeans is 
fully opened. And I think it is to late to change things there while we need to 
restart NetBeans. I prefer to do it as soon as possible to not restart NetBeans 
again.

If the setup dialog is seen as useless then why not make it useful?

I still think some additional customization wouldn’t be the end of the world. 
When setting up as I recall (see below link for specifics) there is the 
following dialogs:

(1) customize dialog
(1a) select specific packs/runtimes
(2) licenses
(3) Netbean home and JDK home
(4) Summary/check for update

For that matter could just as easily open up the Options to allow some 
customization and/or Plugins dialog during install?

For that matter IntelliJ allows look and feel customization at setup. It’s not 
completely unjustified.
