if you download the new java 1.5 update 3 from sun, then you'll get netbeans as well(116MB though). don't know how to work it so nicely, but it looks nice.
personally, i like to type my stuff out, because i feel that i know what's going on then. with netbeans it also just chucks in a bunch of code when you put something on your window and when you have a whole bunch of things it looks weird. maybe other programs do it better. maybe i'm just narrow minded.
