I've been forever looking for a good PHP IDE ever since I started learning the language... So far all of them are a far cry from what a seasoned VB/VS developer expects.
PHPEd 3 - So far unable to setup the debugger. Project management is lousy at best. "Intellisense" is dumb. I give it 3 out of 5.
Visual SlickEdit 7 - So far so good. Kind of complex, specially the options dialogs and the customization options. No "Intellisense"
Maguma Studio - Looking good for a first version. Not good enough do.
Primal Script - Good editor, good project management, so-so FTP options. Rather slow... Gets a 3/5.
All the others I tried don't even get a 2/5 (MetaPad, MultiEdit, dzPad, etc.), and some more don't really apply (Dreamweaver...). I wish someone added PHP to VS.NET, not necessarily that compiles to IL, but if only to use the features of the IDE.
In fact I've been tempted to write an editor from scratch in VS.NET... I wish I had the time.
So what do you think? What's your favorite editor?
Please don't mention NotePad... That kind of programs aren't suitable for large projects.
