Alternatives to Eclipse for all platforms with any license

Visual Studio Code

Code combines the streamlined UI of a modern editor with rich code assistance and navigation, and an integrated debugging experience – without the need for a full IDE.

- Visual Studio code has rapidly became one of the best cross platform editors on the market, i would say it sits in between a full fledged IDE and a more simple editor. I love it! Ola • Apr 2018 • 6 agrees and 1 disagrees

- They are almost identical, from how they manage, organize, programming languages available, tools. Differences only apear when digging through both. Guest • Oct 2018
- Netbeans is in my opinion quite similar to eclipse but easier to learn and use. Refactoring code (by changing the name of a variable) is a breeze. Just do Ctrl+R and the rest will follow. I have some experience using Netbeans to code Java. Right now I am eager to try it out for coding C as well. Guest • Mar 2016 • 2 agrees and 1 disagrees

I prefer NetBeans - it's easier to use, much more intuitive, well designed, and constantly maintained.

This is precisely what I love about Eclipse. If it's not user friendly, define your own perspective. Once I realized it had "Open File from Workspace" feature like Sublime (alt+shift+r by default, but I changed it to ctrl+shift+p x2 as that is the same as my sublime setup) and you could autocomplete NetworkEntityObjectManagerFactory by typing N<ctrl+shpace>etEOMF<enter>, I started exploring the market place (Runner is a must have, as is show view -> other -> debug) and it works perfectly for me.

Eclipse is bloated... I like NeatBeans it has support for php and symfony framework.

Eclipse for PHP Developers is a coding tool for PHP scripts. It is not a WYSIWYG web editor, like Dreamweaver. From looking at screenshots at SourceForge, it doesn't even look like it has any visual web authoring features, much less any WYSIWYG functionality.

Aptana comes integrated with or as a plugin for Eclipse, so it behaves more or less like Eclipse, and is "Free, Open Source and Cross Platform".

I do not agree that this is a suitable alternative to Dreamweaver. Eclipse's forte is java development whereas Dreamweaver is a wysiwyg website development platform.

In my quest for an alternative, Aptana is about as close as I found. Although, if you can afford it, nothing (that I know of) comes close to Dreamweaver.

Eclipse is a lot more useful then NetBeans. The keyboard shortcuts, interface, and plug-ins make Eclipse really good.

However, Eclipse isn't as easy to learn to use as NetBeans

It is so bloated peace of software...
It does not scale for multi-core processors.
