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.

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

use your own code, you'll thank me for it later

I used an evaluation copy of Zend Pro -- was pretty nice.

Though for many reasons, I chose to use the Eclipse platform for my organization.

I've been using PSPad since UltraEdit took a @#$% in version 11.

For those interested, PSPad 4.3.3 is now out. Active scripting is probably the most interesting new feature.

Gotta throw in my vote for BBEdit.

Also, why isn't emacs on the list?

It is, as Xemacs. That's my editor of choice.
Real programmers don't comment their code. If it was hard to write, it should be hard to understand.

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
