When having fun with PHP such as testing new things out etc I tend to use notepad. However, with large projects I used PHPEdit and I have use EasyPHP a few times. It's not bad at all. As for dreamweaver, damn I get nowhere with that.

It's feature-rich, stable and (very important) fast! They have free Techplatform (apache+perl+php) which is the best way to get started right away. Also, interface is very easy to navigate and understand, it allows to do remote debugging, you can profile your code. I also like NuSoap code generator http://www.nusphere.com

Real programmers don't comment their code. If it was hard to write, it should be hard to understand.

The feature I like most (and commented about earlier is it's auto-indenting capability). If you press 'tab' anywhere in a line, it will automatically indent it to the proper depth. Simply beautiful :)

ConTEXT allows to intend even multiline blocks, automatically or stepwise :)

The editor I use most for PHP is vi. vi is the most ubiquitous text editor for *nix that I know of. Because it isn't PHP-specific, I can use it for almost any project without having to learn how to use a new IDE all the time.

Also, I'm somewhat of a computer masochist. I get my kicks by doing things the hard way. This is because the hard way is usually the most thorough. I put in a little extra effort, and I get things done my way. This is why I use Gentoo instead of SuSE as well.

I'm toting an old copy of CF Studio 4.5.2. As someone mentioned earlier in this thread, I like it because it has a great find and replace feature that allows you to find and replace stuff from many files at one time (all files that are open, or all files in a directory etc).

are there any others that have been mentioned that do this same thing...maybe even some that are free?
