Cool thing about anjuta is that <span style='color:red;text-decoration:blink' title='Alert a moderator!'>grilled spam</span> you can have a terminal in the bottom pane, so I can do my Mysql stuff in the same window, as well as move directories around, etc.
Komodo is nice because it reads my include files to figure out my functions and suggest them, which Anjuta doesn't do because it was designed to be a C++ IDE.
Haven't tried Zend studio, do they have a good trial program or free version? I'm too lazy to look it up...
Zend studio only trial

It's awesome for being free... I use it when I can't use Dreamweaver. I like Dreamweaver a little better because it has code-hinting.

Notepad++ has code hinting and is free also. It only runs on Windows though.

Now using zend but it really eats alot of mem

First, i only use linux, and i like php debugging.
I have been developping with komodo for a long time, it is really powerfull but since i decided to use gentoo linux, i won't install any binaries.
I first thought of Quanta, wich is really great, but since i don't want to use QT no more, i use SciTe, a really great editor even though that i haven't figured out how to compile Gubed yet ....

I think that i am going to try anjuta ...

I've been using Dreamweaver 8 for sometime now, but I wish it had better code hinting/code completion. I'm too lazy to read through 20+ pages of posts... Anyone have suggestions for a good editor with what I want?

I prefer nedit (actually "ncl"). It has tabs, it is fast, and it is very strong at dealing with regular expressions (search/replace, syntax highlightening...).

It does not come bundled with PHP syntax however so I had to write my own patterns. I can share if some are interested.
