I had netbeans open yesterday with 3 tabs, including one collab tab, and java.exe was eating 160 megs.
Otherwise, netbeans isnt buggy (for java standards :D) but a bit sluggish and of course has this java look to it.
Eclipse is pretty buggy.
The best java app I have come across, if my memory serves me well, is Frostwire. Although it does have the java looks, it offsets that by loading lots of nice images and banners. inside the page. Its actually nice when the content looks better then the appliation, so thats not all bad.
And it is ok on memory (70 megs) and pretty responsive. Not very fast to load (but not slower then itunes I guess) and it shows a splash screen instead of keeping you guessing like itunes.
AymanFarhat wroteWell you can make them look nice through changing the look and feel, check these out and tell me what you think:
It looks much better then the default skin, but still feels kinda java.
Im still waiting for the day where I will see somthing that looks like itunes written in java...
Nevertheless Java made a lot of progress and is pretty useable. Maybe I dont like java coz it doesnt give me any reason to run windows anymore :P
