The best IDE for Android is coming from Google and called Android Studio, which 
is based on Intellij 😉. https://developer.android.com/studio/index.html I think 
they canceled the Support for the plugin for eclipse, for doing this.


Please don’t Forget all the webdevelopers like me, who are developing with 
AngularJS and Angular + TypeScript or React or Vue or whatever. Node, express 
Less, Sass, (Whish is not part of NetBeans, which is strange) and Scss (Which 
is part of NetBeans).

It's important to know that the NetBeans user base is. Maybe we should 
start by defining that. I distinguish these two sets:

- One part of the NetBeans user base is formed by (or was formed by) big 
companies and organizations such as NATO, The US Navy, the European 
Union, Boeing, NASA, ESA, UNESCO,  and many other companies, big and 
small. See [1] for a list. These companies and organizations may be 
interested in some sort of support, or may provide funding through 
sponshorships, so that the project is kept alive and up to date with new 
platforms and technologies. By listening to these user base we may learn 
how to improve the platform and understand what their problems are 
(installers?, UI improvements?, geo and map support?). And they may even 
want to donate code they built over the years.

- Another part of the NetBeans user base is formed by Java 
(C/C++/Ruby/PHP) developers that prefer to use NetBeans as their IDE. 
NetBeans is well positioned as an IDE for PHP and C/C++ in Unix 
environments. I don't know what funding could be in these, maybe 
crowfunding is an option, as you say. Another option (a difficult one) 
is forking commercial products that concentrate in specific 
areas/requirements (say an IDE for R projects?) and that is funded by 
subscriptions, much like IntelliJ is doing.
