As I can see in the screenshots and videos, it's built on top of NetBeans RCP, which is cool :)

This alone is a reason for me to give it a try. NetBeans RCP is awesome.

Not really, it´s based on Swing. Fonts are going to look horrible.

It appears swing fonts actually are fixable, see for example this approach using patched JDK (on Linux). (Fixing issue for Idea on Linux, but actually fixes it for all Swing apps - http://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-57233 )

Thank you! There's also a fix for Arch, no idea if it's the same patch, though. https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/jre7-openjdk-headless-fon...

I use NetBeans on my MBP retina and the fonts look just perfect.

Well NetBeans RCP is itself based on Swing.
