Out of curiosity... what are the good mac editors? I've tried BBEdit but it's not as lite as I like my editors. I also know of emacs/vi nano etc from using linux. I'm new to os x so bear with me :)

Well, I really like TextWarngler personally (very light program, loads in like 2 secs), and I do think its one of the best and has gotten alot of good ratings on sites like CNET: Download.com, it has syntax highlighting and most of that basic programmers editor type features but if you want something thats kind of similar to the advanced features of a program like PHP Designer, I would have to say the Dreamweaver (very heavy program as you know, takes more than 2 mins to load :S) is the one. :D

[Edit]
I read your post a little differently the first time, so this compares two editors by features and by lightness.

Just got around to trying phpEclipse. Very nice environment ! So far I really like it. Especially the ay the panels move and handle.

I think out of the few editors I have tried, Zend is very powerful, I literally take far more less time than I usually take with Dreamweaver.

features:
syntax highlighting,numbering
auto closing of brackets, double and single quotes
viewing all in-built PHP functions
highlighting of errors in script immediately
auto PHP documentation
popping up class methods and variables
collapsing of HTML and PHP classes and methods
and many others...

Think I'm going to have to go back to Zend... my poor little celeron doesn't enjoy it java resource hogging madness though :( In terms of features you just can't beat it however.

Tried out Notepad++. Not bad. It's buggy in minor areas (if I ever have time, I'll try to fix something) and does not do function highlighting, but it's fast. Recently I switched back from FreeBSD+ports+Jedit to Windows+XAMPP+Notepad++ at home. Is there some editor for Linux that does everything N++ does?

The most current version of ZendStudio, hands down. Not a very big fan of featureless editors, and I cannot stand console editors.

I love dreamweaver, mostly because of the following features:
-code collapsing, very useful when you have big classes and you want to "close" functions to have a better view of what is where
-Intellisense, allowing you to see function paremeters without going thru php.net :)
