Ye' old general discussion board. Basically, for everything that isn't covered elsewhere. Come here to shoot the breeze, shoot your mouth off, or whatever suits your fancy. This forum is not for asking programming related questions.
One thing I like about editplus (aside from stuff mentioned above), is that you can choose your localhost directory, so when you click the preview, if the file is in the localhost directory (or a subdirectory), it converts the directory to the website address.
I chose dreamweaver because it will insert some code for me which is nice be I have a small problem with my left hand so I type one handed...although it does require ALOT of resources to run...seems slow to open or its just my comp...LOL damn windows....LOL gotta pick your poison, eh? hehe

If your talking about dreamweavers, PHP snippets then guide you through a wizard to do stuff, please please please dont use this, this is how i started, its horrid, absolutely horrid, uses old syntax, totally inefficient and generally bad
I personally like PHP Designer 2005. It has everything I need in an editor, plus its free! Since PHP can be written in something simple as Notepad, I don't really see a financially justifiable reason to dish out tons of money for editor software. True, some of them are worth their money, but I prefer the free stuff since I'm not exactly "advanced" in programming PHP anyway.
Of course the free development environments are usefull. ANything is better than notepad in my mind as it does not feature syntax highlighting, Xemacs, Gvim and similar editors add this functionality, and many people use them for seemingly large projects. Environments such as eclipse make dealing with large numbers of files more managable. plus if you are using version control such as CVS, it makes it much easier than calling CVS from command line
