Sun Studio Creator or Netbeans?

[jmDesktop]

Evaluating IDEs. I found several, but came down to Sun's Studio
Creator 2 or Netbeans 6.1 I think I should use Netbeans 6.1 because I
can do anything with it, including web pages. Just wanted comments on
which IDE was better. I'll be doing mostly web, but not solely.
thanks.

One advantage of Netbeans in a bigger user base. You will be able to
get help with it in the newsgroups where you won't with Studio Creator
2.

NetBeans. See

For further evidence note that there have been no new releases of JSC
since 2.1 and I have to install the "backwards compatibility pack"
into NB 6.1 to run some projects developed using JSC.
