I have been using Eclipse with phpEclipse, Aptana and subclipse plugins for a few months now, it's about 200mb, but it fits just perfect for my needs :)

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. 8)

I just discovered something I never knew existed in Notepad++: if you press CTRL+Space, a list of known function names will pop up.

Funny, that has been a feature since the inception of Notepad++, but it is not highly mentioned anywhere in the docs.

I use it from time to time.

I just found Aptana. I dont think i've ever seen an IDE with HTML/CSS open/close tag matching before. Validating has always been slow in my opinion. Although Aptana is no lightweight. I think that feature alone is worth its weight in gold.

I started using EclipsePDT yesterday. Ooooooo man does that blow Eclipse with the PHPEclipse plugin out of the water. It is a nice, full featured IDE that is free and very well supported/documented.

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.

ok - this is a little odd, but I'm more and more amazed at how deep gEdit is. After enabling the File browser pane and "snippets" it's remarkably well suited to development.

Seriously.... who knew? Talk about the worst marketing job ever.

gEdit rocks. I think that will become my favorite lightweight editor when I go 100% linux (sadly because there is no Notepad++ for linux and VI is still a little cryptic to me... though I do like VI a lot).

homesite because of the ability to connect to ftp servers.

i would love to switch if i could find another one that does the same thing.

A ton of editors do that. I know PSPad does, Zend Studio does. I am not sure if Eclipse does but I would guess someone has built a plugin for it.

I've used editplus under Wine with no problems, I imagine notepad++ would also work. I was impressed by the amount of integration possible with Wine!
