I love NetBeans on Windows, but it's terrible on Mac if you're a Dvorak typist and you want to use keyboard shortcuts. For some reason, when using the Dvorak layout, NetBeans can't decide whether to interpret a key press as Dvorak or QWERTY when using shortcuts, and often it uses both. For example, the W key in QWERTY is a comma in Dvorak. If you press Cmd-, to invoke the Preferences dialog, it interprets this as both Cmd-, and Cmd-W, so it brings up the Preferences dialog and closes the current file.
