Pros n Cons : NetBeans 6.5 vs PDT for Drupal Development

Here are some pros and cons of using netbeans and PDT for Drupal Development.

Pros

• Working javascript browser (yay!)
• Right click to folder to find/search (went away in most recent PDT)
• SVN built in
• Simpler plugin manager.
• Better viewing of patch files
  • You can directly view .patch files with syntax coloring.
  • Especially nice to review after export.
• Also, offers to open a set of diffs, one for every file changed by newly applied patch.
• Cute css style viewer
• Nice cvs highlighting on uncommitted changes.

• Opens and closes faster.

Cons

• Cannot rename cvs checkouts (serious problem)
  • How to handle multiple pulls of head?
• How to handle multiple versions of same module?
• Doesn’t show @docs on mouseover
• Built-in diff produces patches rejected by testbot!!!
  • Failed: Failed to apply patch.

• Tried running through dos2unix, but no help.
