Comments:
- Performance
- ok
- Plugins are not available (Solution: https://blogs.apache.org/netbeans/entry/what-s-happened-to-my.)
- Just performance issues and slow to release, yest no support for CSS Grid
- cannot download nb-javac library, (Solution: https://blogs.apache.org/netbeans/entry/what-s-nb-javac-in.)
- Can you please add support for more PHP Frameworks e.g. Laravel, Blade etc.
- Modern code does not soley rely on Java only code. Support for non-Java code, builds and languages is lacking. I cannot say 9 is comparable if it only performs with 85% of my code base. (Solution: https://blogs.apache.org/netbeans/entry/what-s-happened-to-my.)
- - NETBEANS-953Getting issue details... STATUS
- Java 9+ features seem half baked. Modules can't be renamed or deleted in Netbeans but can be modified out of IDE. There is no way to easily convert classpath to modular project structure despite being easy to do by hand(at least on smaller projects).
- I use ctrl+click on xhtml, jsf pages which is broken. - NETBEANS-1046Getting issue details... STATUS
- no php/js support (Solution: https://blogs.apache.org/netbeans/entry/what-s-happened-to-my.)
- The lack of some features as JavaHelp for RCP modules. (See https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/a3c047a068bd7f99a3c515cd89e2a72645965ae799c3be5a8b9739f0@%3Cdev.netbeans.apache.org%3E.)

Comments:
No
No specific issue - overall performance is not as good as with 8.2
No
It is very slow in loading
Nine is much slower. Slowness seems to be evident with Gradle projects and loading of most projects after Netbeans has begun.
I don't know

- Code completion of module path's often result in an org.netbeans.modules.parsing.spi.ParseException exception.

Comments:
Deleting and renaming files inconsistently throw exceptions. Changing interface types sometimes results in an exception as well, with the interface type changing but all implementations requires manual changes.
