NetBeans claims that it is the only IDE that you need!!
Well if you consider the different project and software development areas you will find that NetBeans IDE 6.1 Beta does offer brilliant development tools for most of them.
The most popular application areas supported by NetBeans IDE 6.1 Beta are:
1. Java
2. Web
3. Enterprise
4. Mobility
5. UML
6. SOA
7. Ruby
8. C/C++
9. NetBeans Modules
Wow!!! That sounds cool!
Is there something missing?? Look at the list again...
Absolutely no support for embedded development!!
One might argue that there is support for the Sun Spot Applications development in NetBeans (refer my article The COOL "Sun Spots"!!)
But Sun Spots are just emerging and have a long way to go.
So what I want to say is why can't NetBeans provide support for Embedded development?
There are robust tools available for the same like Keil which has the best development tools for ARM, XC16x/C16x/ST10, 251, and 8051 microcontroller families.
Keil is not Open Source nor free and my college spent handsome money to buy the tool.
For embedded programmers such tools are very important and if Netbeans ventures in this area and provides support for the same it will not only be great for the community but also help to improve the popularity of the IDE!!
And that will surely take it one step closer to being the only IDE that anyone will need!!

I would also like to add that apart from adding new functionality, there is also a need to upgrade and stabilize existing features in NetBeans. For example, developing large scale mobile applications using Visual Mobile Developer is not an attractive option because the VMD is known to be riddled with bugs which appear when size of project increases!
Anyways good observation!!!
Keep Blogging!!!!

Strong words dude.I have keen interest in embedded system.It will be really helpful if Netbeans provides support for embedded system.

that's cool thinking...but i think netbeans still have a long way to go in embedded systems....it can be really fantastic in applications with fast processors....
