I add my vote to phpEd!! The address describing it:
http://www.nusphere.com/products/php_id ... atures.htm
and it is actually one of the best IDE's I have tried, for any
language, no kidding. It is intuitive, doesn't get in your way, can
custom color highlight different kinds of code in different schemes in
the same document, has very smart code completion for PHP that is
smart enough to be able to show you your own classes functions and
variables as choices, an AMAZING debugger that can even debug live
applications and follow through after a submission on a form and keep
debugging, a database client that is really intuitive and quick that
lets you do cool things like drag and drop fields on your form. You
really have to try the free trial version to believe how nice it is.
There are videos on the web site showing the product in use, and I
have been amazed to find it really is all they advertise and more.

So I have a few more comments about Aptana. While having one of the coolest features out there, after having discovered that it's based on eclipses same non-intuitive IDE, I am frustrated. PHPEd still blows it away in terms of functionality for php(IMO). Having not used it much for javascript yet though, from what i read it's one of the best. I just have to say that having a bit of a more intuitive interface would make it a hundred times better. Just trying to adjust seemingly small things like text size is near impossible. i still haven't found the setting by the way. who knows if it is even possible.
