There is no 'best' IDE; the one that comes closest is the wetware between your ears.
For all the rest: pick the program(s) that fit the tasks best for your needs.

kind regards,

If the platform used is Windows, my choise is Visual studio.

I have used Visual studio 2005 myself progarming some Visual basic form applications, and the IDE supprised me with the featuers to bild forms fast and the corrections it makes when you write code. And MSDN is a goldmine for VS users.

I have tried ~11 other IDE:s as i remember but as i remeber most of them was harder to learn how to use (big and complex) or was of smaller kind of IDE with not that many "IDE like features".

I think Eclipse is a great IDE to worth mentioning but i haven't tried it enough. Don't know if you can make C# and VB in Eclipse, and I guess you cant make Java in VS but you can make J# and i guess that’s good enough for Windows business applications.

The only professional IDE is VS.NET.
It's used by all big companies.

Uh, that's not true. I worked at a very large trading company, and we used Eclipse there...

Thats not true, maybe on the Windows platform and for some kinds of applications it's very common but not the only "profession al", by example I use another IDE when writing assembler for microprocessor and when i white Python and other stuff and I can't say that these IDE's are less professional the VS.Net.

We also use and like eclipse, there is a lot to it that I have yet to discover and you can easily enhance it with plugins written by you or others.

Hi, and welcome to bytes btw.

So the best IDE is from 2001, I guess that you wasn't that serious. List of latest editions of JBuilder below:

JBuilder 2007. Available in 2006. This is the first JBuilder version redone to work on top of Eclipse[6] Its user interface and features are much different than previous versions of JBuilder.
JBuilder 2007 r2 Available in 2007 [7]. It came in Enterprise, Standard (SE), and Turbo editions.
JBuilder 2008 . It came in Enterprise, Professional and Turbo editions.
