I'd love to give Netbeans a real shot, but I can't deal with the fact that it is completely unable to match the font settings of the rest of my GNOME desktop.

Eclipse (and any other SWT toolkit app) = matches my native fonts. Netbeans (and, presumably, other Swing apps) = horrible eye-bleed.

Yeah, its's been several years since I used NetBeans in GNOME. I've probably just blocked the image out of my mind.

Either that or I don't care about matching font settings. Or possibly I was so used to Windows fonts that I didn't even notice the discrepancy.
