In addition the questions above the survey allowed you to specify other in the field of what features would help you most. Below are a summary and my initial answers to these.

fixed.

On the serious note we actually in past reached out to the NetBeans community to let them know if they would like to have better support for JBoss technology in NetBeans we
would gladly help but it would need someone separately to drive the implementation. A few showed up but most faded away again (unfortunately).

That said recently there seem to be an active http://plugins.netbeans.org/plugin/52143/drools-netbeans-plugin[Drools plugin] and http://plugins.netbeans.org/plugin/53333/wildfly-application-server[WildFly integration] (maintained by Red Hatter Emanuel Hugonnet) and the Forge team is working on making its scaffolding and wizard tools available from Netbeans too. So there is hope!

Better connection between app that's deployed to (local) running server and debugger for source lookup?::
I'm not sure what this refer to since if you are running locally and have use the server adapter to launch the server in debug mode source lookup should happen automatically for your projects. If you who made this comment are seeing this, please leave a comment or pointer to a JIRA so we can follow up ? Thank you.

There's actually a problem here, I've seen it before: a dialog pops up to look-up the Eclipse projects (or classpath) when a breakpoint is hit. And that's pretty annoying.

Apache Cordova is what Hybrid mobile tooling mainly covers at the moment. We will continue to make the integration better via the https://www.eclipse.org/thym/[Eclipse Thym] project that Gorkem Ercan leads. In this area you will also see http://www.feedhenry.com/[FeedHenry] integration to show up soon(tm).

iot stack?::
We do not have any intermediate plans for Internet-of-Things related tooling; but if you are interested in this area do checkout out the http://iot.eclipse.org/[iot Eclipse working group] which has a lot of interesting projects and tools.

IoT is the right wording, I believe

no worries ;-)

JSF is fully supported by our JavaEE runtimes and tooling, but we do not have active plans on doing much feature addition or new features around JSF tooling. We are even planning on deprecating the JSF visual tooling since it has become a high cost to maintain and our usage stats shows only a small portion of users use it. That said we do want to keep JSF tooling updated to spec for content assist, code navigation etc. thus if you have specific issues you feel are missing do let us know in our https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBIDE[issue tracker] and we will follow up.

m2e?::
We are committers on the Maven tooling for Eclipse and Fred Bricon lead the m2e-wtp integration that makes it possible to easily to configure, build and deploy war and ear's. All our examples rely on Maven thus we are definitely actively working on making the Maven experience better from within Eclipse and JBoss Tools. In that context if you are still on Eclipse Kepler based tooling then try our Luna tools where m2e import performance have been greatly improved!

fixed, but I kept Fred's full name and use modules instead of files.

yes, 'modules' sounds better.

move to idea as a base?::
There are many that wish this to happen, and I understand the reasoning. Intellij IDEA is an awesome IDE, has a lot of great features but it is not possible for us to contribute to because the interesting parts are closed source. I've always said that if IDEA had been opensource 10+ years ago when I started moving Hibern8IDE to an IDE, JBoss Tools would probably have been IDEA based today. But Eclipse being opensource and the most used IDE Eclipse that is where we ended up.
+
Many thinks IntelliJ IDEA is opensource, but it is only its core features that are opensource. All the (for JBoss technology) interesting tools are mainly part of the Ultimate Edition which is closed source; meaning we have no sensible way to make an opensource tooling offering on IDEA (assuming we had an army of developers with free time available :)

That said, IntelliJ already has good JBoss support and we are engaged with the IntelliJ team on making information about it more readily available. Arun Gupta made a http://blog.arungupta.me/tag/intellij/[few blogs and webinars] on the IDEA support for JBoss and JavaEE.
