not sure that things really are getting better

nothing in that list of new features jumps out at me. and in terms of javascript support it looks like things are still worse than nb7.2 (they gutted their language model because of licensing concerns and the new model is terrible). they've added some bells and whistles, but still don't have the basics working (ie, JsDocs, which provide the typing info for javascript)

so i'm still using nb7.2 (and purchased webstorm for javascript). i've been using (and loving) netbeans for 7 years, but from my pov, the project appears stalled (even though they're putting lots of work into it)
