As of 2011: Netbeans 7 or Eclipse Indigo for C++?

Viewed 7236

This is basically a duplicate of: Netbeans or Eclipse for C++?

But, that question as 3+ years old, and a lot has changed since then.

I have a large code base with a custom (but Makefile based) build system. The areas I am specifically wondering about include:

  1. Syntax highlighting
  2. Code navigation.
  3. Code hints.
  4. "ReSharper style" code helpers.
  5. Documentation integration.
  6. Debugger UI and features.

Has anyone had the chance to evaluate both Netbeans and Eclipse?

EDIT: As a followup question, are any of the Netbeans users here concerned with its future given Oracle's recent bad history with "open" efforts? (Open Solaris, MySQL, Open Office)

Thank you
