Zend, Notepad and VIM :). I think I like VIM more than Zend ^.^

I must vote for Notepad! I used it so many times.

I also use Notepad2 a lot.
It was really good and I really love that program.

Another tool that I think is powerful is vim (an improved version of vi),
it has a lot of features, but sometimes it's too confusing, but I use it also.

Another tool I use is Dreamweaver, I really love its code view!
(I don't use design view so much, I just use it for previewing my designs.)

That is one of the coolest little apps I have seen. Man, thanks for that link. It is really neat, very lightweight and very fast for regular file editing.

I've used PHP Designer, vim, Dreamweaver, and whole slew of others, but I always keep coming back to PSpad.

It really simple, but it has a lot of handy features and lets you customize almost everything.

I use it for all my text file needs.

Dreamweaver hands down because of the ability to view any code as highlighted. Winner in my book =D.

Highlighted, as in syntax? That is available in almost any editor nowadays.

It's small (about 6MB; 1.24MB current version update) and quite fast.
Since I really like debuggers I won't recommend an IDE without ;)
If you're used to javadoc, doxygen or similar you will also appreciate the help-generator. Syntax highlighting includes matching braces.
Always get the latest (complete) development version, stable lacks many features and imho isn't more stable than recent dev. versions.

edit: oh, I just became aware that some dev.versions really are development! versions. The latest update crashes on my computer far too often :(
Same. If you mean the snapshots, they're straight from the developers so they're bound to be buggy. I use the latest snapshots all the time and only a few have crashed on me, and it's usually pretty quick to be mentioned and fixed on the mailing list. I'm a loyal PHPEdit fanboy and I just love it. Their development team are amazing and they have some really cool ideas.

I use PHPDesigner 2007 on my PC, but I don't really do much coding on my PC. The PC is for audio. I use my Mac and I've got Dreamweaver on that. Dreamweaver is all fine and dandy, but I haven't done any serious development in it. Perhaps we'll see how CS3 shapes up.

I can never settle on a PHP editor. Started with things like notepad, grew to PHP Designer 2006 (which I thought was good), then 2007 (which was really bad), stayed on notepad++ for about 6 months just because it was very lightweight.

The I moved on to some of the big boys. I tried eclipse with PHPeclipse plugin which I loved at the time. Probably used it for a couple months. I don't know why but I recently downloaded Zend Studio and I simply love it. Everything is built in, a (allbeit small) MySQL viewer, SVN with color changing filenames based on their repository status, good fast popups which are useful (something I have found Eclipse to not be so good at).

Another great thing about Zend is that when you are there typing away referencing methods from the popup, I can sometimes not see the function I want - which means that it is set to private or protected in the class.

I dont think I could go back to Eclipse anymore.

I stick with VIM myself. Usually syntax coloring off..unless I have a stoopid error then I turn it on.

Notepad++
Edit: I program in numerous different languages, plus script for Halo: Combat Evolved. NP++ is great because it has all of the languages I use normally (C#, C++, Visual Basic, HTML, SQL, CSS, PHP, etc), and you can add custom languages (like how I added HSC - Halo Script). Also, some of the other features are appealing as well (like the HEX viewer)

I only wish I had it on Linux...

Edit: Gasp! The installer and N++ both ran (run) perfectly from Wine! Yay!

I use Dreamweaver and Im really fond of Notepad2(very lightweight).

I also stumbled on an editor called Nvu that I really like.

KDevelop will do for now, but I do want to get Zend Studio one day.

Zend Studio lost my business the day I started using Eclipse. Literally.

Favorites, for me, in order of weight (like lightweight to powerhouse)...
  1. Notepad2
  2. Notepad++
  3. PSPad
  4. Eclipse
Though I vaguely recall posting that list somewhere else...
