At a startup I worked at, we had to switch back to eclipse from any IDE - netbeans, IDEA, emacs, vim because eclipse is the only one that can really get maven right.

The better question is, what is eclipse doing right that all the others can't?

Whereas I really don't like Eclipse's requirement that you have an Eclipse plugin for each Maven plugin you use -- I have found it much easier to work with Maven projects using IDEA than with Eclipse, especially on a team where not everyone wants to understand what's going on.

Seems like you either had some seriously huge maven projects going on or how you possibly made Netbeans misbehave with Maven.

Me, I use the two day-to-day and never have issues, even not when I open all of the TomEE examples in addition to my normal projects.
