A better light weight alternate is Netbeans 8 that also just got released and has full Java 8 support in addition to many many other features: https://netbeans.org/community/releases/80/

I'm not sure why you felt the need to add "a better light weight", why not just say "Netbeans also got Java 8 support"? This isn't the place to start a flamewar.

On account of it being better and more light weight? :o)

Better is subjective, and the cause of many flame wars.

There, I lose. Everybody can go home now. :-)
