Comment on Netbeans for PHP: Continues to Impress by Robert Kraig

At all my previous jobs I’ve had, because i used netbeans i was able to run circles around the devs i was working with because of the intense integration. I will have to say though, if you are working with netbeans on a remotely hosted repo, where you are creating a project locally but remotely editing files say via samba, netbeans comes to a virtual crawl. The last major company i worked for, our project was well over 1+ million LOC. Netbeans is great if you are using working with files which are all locally based and somewhat standard compliant code using good coding practices, otherwise it will try to inform you about all the bad code in your repo. That is where the major slow-down hurts you. Not every large codebase is written by the best PHP coders / standards compliant coders on the planet, many coders hired by large companies are just CS majors who go from language to language like vagabonds. These are not PHP best friends.

It’s pretty damn easy to configure a debug proxy (per project) by going to the project properties (right click the project > properties), choosing “Run Configuration”, then click “Advanced”. You can see an annotated screenshot here: http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4036/4340695537_b4d34affbc_o.png

As regards performance, I also have a project with about a million LOC.
I noticed with the RC versions of NetBeans, that my hard drive would churn for half a day, indexing my files. Thereafter, and with the release version, NetBeans runs fast & light. Searches return in about a second or 2.
Still, nothing beats the performance of vi

I like NetBeans, but the rest of my team uses Eclipse, as it has better support for proxying a remote debugger. I’ve not tried SSH tunneling yet, but we use Komodo-PythonRemoteDebugging aka pydbgpproxy (yes, it’s for PHP, too). This is to allow multi-user concurrent debugging.
I’m surprised that you prefer NetBeans for remote debugging; it does not (easily) allow debugger proxy configuration, unlike Eclipse (and ActiveState Komodo)

I have over a million LOC open in Netbeans right now without an issue; what issues do you see? with what size project? On what platform?

Netbeans is nice for small projects but it really sucks (perfomancewise) when the project is getting big.

The only thing that I hate is the poor implementation of SVN. You must use a 3rd party software like Tourtoise SVN. ???
How comes?! NetBeans SVN integration is working flawlessly.

I learn for netbeans from a book for java many years ago when it were young and were like an editor.
Nothing remember that editor now.
I wish just to support more php frameworks as yii and cakephp…

actually, I did move to NetBeans after reading your previous post that compared many PHP IDEs and I’m still using NetBeans till now and some of my colleagues like it too.
