Is there an up-to-date survey of Java IDE market share published on the web? I found stats from five years ago when I searched.

NB This question is not designed to be a poll of the stackoverflow community for favorite Java IDE. However, that poll does exist.

+3  A: 

I do not know of any official statistics but my personal experience in Belgium is:

a) 50/50 IntelliJ/Eclipse for Java development when people are freelancer or get their intelliJ license paid by work.

b) 01/99 IntelliJ/Eclipse for Java development when people have to pay the IntelliJ license from their net income.

I agree with your answer assuming the "Eclipse/IntelliJ" was supposed to be "IntelliJ/Eclipse" in part b). I'm also noticing a slight comeback for NetBeans ... I think it may be related to the recent enhancements, but more importantly, it's integration with GlassFish.

I agree with what Steve Moyer wrote; although NetBeans comeback is still in the geek / early adopter crowds, not as much on workplace. From observation in workplace it is still between IntelliJ and Eclipse (and its derivative like RAD, MyEclipse, and Aptana).

I also hear a lot of the positive buzz on Netbeans since last year, but I have not encountered it on the workfloor yet.

I've yet to see a Java developer using netbeans. The few netbeans users here are working in JRuby or using the SQL tools. We are split about 25/75 Idea to Eclipse. Anyone doing Java + JRuby is using Idea. Anyone doing Java only is using eclipse.

I have used NetBeans for a long time, since nb3.5. And in my current company there are also many developers use NetBeans in different countries. Some training even use NetBeans 3.x that created in years ago.
