You know, for a long time I have been saying that I have used tsWebEditor. Well, it totally bit the dust on me yesterday. I mean, it just stopped loading altogether. It was a great little editor, but man, that little episode made the experience pretty sucky for me.
I still use Zend Studio (with a lot of problems I might add) but right now, Notepad++ seems to be my favorite. Although I am looking at Eclipse...

that's funny... I just started using Eclipse with the PHPEclipse plugin yesterday too... and like you, I tried it a while back and found it too large and featureful... too much to learn at the time... but I tried again yesterday and for applications it's awesome... not so good for websites that have a little php in them though. I still use dreamweaver for those and probably will for a long time cuz that's what EVERYBODY uses at my work (designers, bosses, developer (me))d11wtq wrote:I started using Eclipse (with the PHPEclipse Plugin) tonight. I had tried it before and wasn't very impressed because it's so heavy/clunky. I'm liking it so far tonightWhy Eclipse? I'm looking for something cross platform since I like to use the same editor at work as I do at home

Is it just me or is the "Edit -> Encoding" option in the menu just full of greyed out encodings? I *need* to set a UTF-8 encoding in order to Unit Test a method which should detect UTF-8 in a string but can't set the encodingThe Ninja Space Goat wrote:that's funny...

I just read on some forum that it doesn't support utf-8. It must be a planned feature that's not actually been implemented. I then tried jEdit and all I can say is.... well actually I can't say anything so I'll just vomit over my keyboard instead.The Ninja Space Goat wrote:All greyed out for me too... that's strange... ?d11wtq wrote:Is it just me or is the "Edit -> Encoding" option in the menu just full of greyed out encodings?
