For example, regarding Python support…it’s in very early development but there is an in-work LSP based Python plugin available here.

If I have a request and Netbeans wants to include any of us in that teem, one could help. I love the suggestion of the OP, and respect the suggestion being offered. However, accepting that suggestion would require too much effort for a single developer; not only time wise, but also mental and physical, just to mention some. This kind of endeavours are better suited for a stablish company like Apache. I'm offering my help, in case one of the developers need coffee or something from the kitchen :), 7 to 10 hour a week. I truly hope Apache is not just reading this emails, but also giving them the cerebral value they deserve.

I've even written about it<https://nrecursions.blogspot.com/2014/07/preview-your-webpage-realtime-while.html>, and linked to James Gosling's support for Netbeans. The reason for mentioning this, is because current popular IDE's lack the usability that Netbeans has. There is a LOT of features that are very thoughtfully crafted, and has left me wishing it was there in other IDE's too. Problems with other IDE's: * Intellij Idea: Too heavy on resources. Can't run it on my 2GB RAM, Celeron laptop. * VS Code: The various view panels are inflexible in position and simple tasks that should have been easily runnable, are complex in accessibility and usage. Julia's plugin for VS Code makes it extremely slow to run Julia programs. * Spyder: Poor support for refactoring. * Sublime text: Unbelievably un-intuitive IDE. Need to Google search for how to do anything in it. * Atom: Is already being sunsetted. * Eclipse and LiClipse: Is kind of ok, but not as good as Netbeans. It's not just me. When using Java, many of my juniors were also enthusiastically vocal in their preference for Netbeans. You've built a great IDE. If Netbeans could be streamlined to be lightweight, bug-free and if support for languages like Python, Julia, R and C++ is added/improved, and if Netbeans could be marketed more, it'd be a great help to the software community. -- Regards, Navin
