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). Gesendet von Mail für Windows 10 Von: Antonio Gesendet: Freitag, 13.

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.
