I like MS Visual Studio.
I’ve been using the MS IDE for more than twenty years, and I’ve gotten used to it. For me, anything else (including NetBeans) is a PITA.

Really? I found it (Visual Studio's IDE) to be kinda a PITA; I'd rather use the old Borland Delphi 5 IDE though it's starting to show its age it's really quite well-built. -- Though I have to say the worst thing about VS is the help-system, IMO it's a terrible internet integration. {The old .hlp files were much faster and usually easier to navigate.}

Whatever you're used to is what's best for you.

The learning curve for really getting fluent with a modern IDE is really long.

There are still a lot of things about MSVS that I don't understand very well.

MS Visual C 6.0 (back in the early '90's) I actually mostly understood. That was long ago and far away, though.

Actually, if I had my way, I'd still be programming APL using an IBM 2741 terminal. Just kidding.

If I had my way I'd be as young as I was then, that's for sure.
