There's been a lot of cosmetic improvements in NetBeans in the last few releases, including this latest one. In particular, a while back the default look & feel was switched to FlatLAF ( https://www.formdev.com/flatlaf/ ), and before that again we did a lot of work to support HiDPI and Retina screens ( https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/NETBEANS/HiDPI+%... ). In NetBeans 15 we did a series of tweaks to further improve the look of the UI (e.g. https://github.com/apache/netbeans/pull/4286 ).

Yeah, at least according to the repo it seems they now delegate to the ccls language server and just do syntax highlighting via the textmate plist grammars that are so commonly paired with language servers * https://github.com/apache/netbeans/tree/12.3/cpplite#cpplite * https://github.com/apache/netbeans/blob/12.3/cpplite/cpplite...
