I used it briefly in one of my several attempts to like Java.
About 3 years ago I think?
I preferred it to Eclipse at the time, but I've now moved to 
Eclipse (peer pressure and need for some plugins mainly) 
and so have stopped using Netbeans.

It was dog slow on my 600MHz iBook with 256M of RAM
but adequate on my 2GHz 1G Ram XP box..

Yes, or at least Jython, and it worked fine. I can't recall if 
I ever had CPython working...

HTH,
