I do agree with Tristan. I am still using the old 8.2 plugin, mainly because I am used to it over almost a decade. But I also have the impression, increasingly it has become notable that development on that part has stopped long ago. So for someone looking to start with a C/C++ IDE in these days, sadly I would not recommend Netbeans.
