Yes, other.

I started using php designer a few years ago, and when you have a lot of people working on a project through subversion it really shows its weight. The great thing is that it doesnt take ages to open up and allows us to get on with work quickly.

I use SubEthaEdit, it's a collaborative editor that has great syntax highlighting, block editing etc. It's only really missing code folding. I use that in conjunction with TextExpander for auto-completing code (which allows you to place the cursor inside a block as opposed to just rendering the text and leaving it up to you to go back and edit).

Re: What editor do you use? 2008
I use Bluefish because I want something extremely reliable on Linux, works and loads fast, has tabs for multiple pages at the same time, color coding, and mostly because I'm not a fan of Intellisense-like systems with automatic popdown listboxes as I type. After awhile, the Intellisense becomes annoying where I already know what I want and don't need help. Plus, every intellisense-like editor I've used had frequent crashes. I used to like Screem until I started writing very large PHP pages and it kept crashing on me. It's a rare day when Bluefish can't take it and crashes.

Hi ppl! Zend Studio allows to work on files on the remote server when you FTP to it. Do you know any other editors that will allow to do so, but not as heavy and big as Zend. Thanks!
Re: What editor do you use? 2008
@Volland, I use a combination of YummyFTP and SubEthaEdit (mac) and if I edit a server file, it uploads my changes whenever I save the document (which can be changed to manual, on close, etc). I know most all FTP programs allow you to choose an "editor". If you're looking for an editor AND an FTP in one, they will always be "heavy". I have yet to find an editor with built in FTP that's small and light.
Good Luck

Not to be a Killjoy here, but why would anyone edit a file on the server directly?
PS I am soooooo loving VIM as of late. Yesterday I coded almost an entire project and never once touched a mouse. I was able to code, svn, browse my file system.... everything I would normally do with another fatter editor but I never really had to take my hands off the keyboard.

Re: What editor do you use? 2008
I use Aptana. It's a great little program.
It's mainly geared towards the Ajax crowd but with the PHP plugin, it's a perfect PHP editor with a lot of features and not much system resource overhead.
I use it on both Windows & Mac with no problems.

I used Eclipse PDT and PHPEclipse for a long time but now I use NetBeans IDE. I love it!

Tell me about it... It has lots of fancy features which make dev lot faster. And debugging is really very efficient.
