Sorry, what?!

I have no experience with either of those so won't comment on that. But
surely aesthetics don't drive your choice of development tools? (vi and
emacs wouldn't have as large a fanbase then, I'm sure)

Netbeans defaults to the (slightly buggy) Gtk+ L&F on Linux. Personally
I just change the L&F parameter to Nimbus and IMHO that looks pretty
nice. The important point is that it is a mature (and fully open) IDE.
