So I switched to Linux...
So I went Kubuntu on my laptop (working 95%, CUPS is giving me hassle, but I'm sure I'll figure it out). The only thing I'm missing on Linux is a full-featured PHP IDE. I don't mean editor (there's tons of those), I mean IDE. Something like Zend, Komodo, phpEd, etc. If anyone can reccommend one, I'm all ears. Suggestions for other cool Linux programs are welcome too. I'm very fond of Superkaramba. 
I myself use Eclipse + PHPEclipse and I don't really need anything else. Also if you wait for a few months, a new PHP IDE will be released for Eclipse platform (Zend and IBM involved).
You can also download a 0.something version of the IDE from eclipse.org, but it's probably not worth using yet since it's basically a preview.

No, if you want to compare it like that, it's more like homesite.... Only a lot better.evilmonkey wrote:Hmm...phpEclipse is an idea. Does it do stuff like underline synatx errors and auto-completion? As for quanta, it looks to me like a dreamweaver replacement. Not really an IDE, just a WYSIWYG editor...

I'm also in the PHP Eclipse club - it's simple, effective and yes, it underlines/colours/highlights stuff like errors and such. Autocompletion is also available. The usual complaint about it is that being Java based it is sort of slow. Small price tag for what you get... I recommend not using the Zend plugin yet - it's barely into infancy... Not sure I figure how it's being run either (but that's a personal opinion not a functional one...).
Quanta is also quite good. Just not my style - but for many people it totally rocks. Outside these two...few other truly notable free offerings.
