Thanks for filing and bringing these up Maxym, I managed

I like this version best! :-)

Actually in this context I think "edge" has a different
meaning.  You can "have an edge" over someone, or over
everyone else, which means you have some advantage.
"NetBeans Edge" means something like "the NetBeans
Advantage" (probably).

Another related meaning is "on the edge".  You might have
heard the expression "the bleeding edge", meaning at the
very front of development/technology, as advanced as is
currently possible.  NetBeans Edge could also imply that
kind of meaning, being at the forefront of what is happening
with NB (or IDEs or Java ...).

Just my interpretations.
