NetBeans on my Kubuntu laptop (Intel Core 2 Duo, 3 GB RAM) is quite 
peppy.  Have not found it to be buggy at all.  Extremely useful.

That said, I prefer gvim for day-to-day coding.  I use NetBeans for the 
UI editor when hacking on JRuby desktop apps.  But I know a few folks 
who use quite regularly (on Macs)

If it's important to have an "IDE" (as opposed to a code editor), 
NetBeans is a really good option.
