I think it depends a lot on what you expect from your IDE and whether you're spending money or not.

If you're ok launching GWT DevMode "manually" (through Maven, Ant or Gradle, or creating your IDE launch configuration by hand), and debugging your code in the browser (rather than the IDE), then any IDE would work.

If you don't care about JSNI syntax highlighting and autocompletion, then any Java IDE could work (including, e.g., IntelliJ IDEA Community Edition). You should avoid JSNI nowadays anyway, but might still have some in existing projects.
Similarly if you don't care about a UiBinder-specific editor (any XML editor would work then).

Otherwise, you won't have many choices to begin with: the free Eclipse + GWT Plugin, or the paid IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate Edition.

Is it safe to say, that Netbeans is out of the picture?

I honestly have no idea what Netbeans is capable of; I know there's a GWT
plugin (no idea what it does) but IIRC it's no longer maintained.
Fwiw, I'm personally OK with no JSNI or UiBinder editing support, and
debugging from the browser's dev tools, and always prefer running tasks
from the build tool (Maven or Gradle), so that wouldn't rule out Netbeans
for me (even VS Code could be OK).
My personal preference is IntelliJ IDEA though (and the free Community
edition fits my needs)

IntelliJ Ultimate

I just works.


I also like Eclipse with the GWT plugin, but IntelliJ is just a beter IDE
in general than Eclipse, in my opinion (!).

I converted from Eclipse to IntelliJ CE a few months ago. I agree that it works much better when combined with maven builds as compared to eclipse.

one thing though is that you dont get much assistance with uiBinder templates. So it might be more difficult to pick up as a beginner (unless you invest in the ultimate edition)

one annoying thing is that the styleName attributes are reported as errors since it does not check with the widget class methods.
