STILL missing a Netbeans theme.
I've never understood netbeans, why use it over intelliJ? (Honest question)
If HN believes creative thinking is a waste of time I’ll get downvoted for this but I fancy just letting my imagination go wild so here goes... Video gamers can supposedly differentiate between tones more similar to one another than non-gamers. Perhaps, if you made a theme of very similar colors, you could achieve the same benefit from programming. Although I suspect it might not work because the difference in the co…
STILL missing a Netbeans theme.

But it's missing one important (to me) feature that's been labeled as a critical bug for 2 12 years. And never fixed:
And that's http://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/WI-2377
"No autocompletion for php variables inside [SQL] strings"
Believe it our not, I still write SQL statements in my code. So writing an UPDATE on a table with 30 fields (I didn't design the tables) is hella easier in Netbeans then PHPStorm. I don't have to worry about typo's in Netbeans.
If JetBrains ever gets around to fixing this, I'll gladly switch.
I like this theme, and used it for a while but I find myself going back for monokai. A little off-topic: What do HN people prefer, light or dark themes?
I recommend this one: http://hcalves.deviantart.com/#/d2x1yjo

For PHP - I love PHPStorm (from jetBrains - the same company behind IntellJ). But it's missing one important (to me) feature that's been labeled as a critical bug for 2 12 years.

This is awesome, however I use Sublime Text Editor 2 of which there is no theme for and thus serves no purposes just yet.

I use netbeans (6.9) for python and javascript (/editing html/css). I'm not ready to make an investment in something hardcore like vim. Is there anything free that's better for this? intelliJ doesn't seem to support these with the free version.

It's free, for one thing. IntelliJ is still for-pay if you want Java EE features, and while few of my projects are Java EE all of them use some EE features (JSF, especially). I tried IntelliJ community edition and was not very impressed. The time/cost of switching is pretty high. I'm not sure what the value is I'd be getting for that effort--better completion? More graphical ways of doing things? If I had $200 to blo…
