I used to work with textpad, but a couple of years ago I switched to PDT for Eclipse, and I'm more than happy with it

I've just found the Services tab in NetBeans :)
Now I'm able to operate with both PGSQL and MySQL from the IDE - queries, structure, etc :)
I'm happy :)

I'm definitely in love with NetBeans :) I have a very long list of features I like in it but I do encourage you to see them by yourself.

Vlad, give us a rundown of what's good about netbeans, as opposed to Zend Studio for example. I remember giving it a try some months back and I wasn't overly impressed.

http://www.zend.com/en/products/studio/features
and
http://www.netbeans.org/features/index.html

There is no much difference, I think.

The main advantage is that it is a platform. So ... http://plugins.netbeans.org/PluginPortal/

I knew someone would say this :)
It's true that nowadays one should not expect some extraordinary features from an IDE, which do not present in any other IDE.

I found working with Netbeans IDE a pleasure. I've tried with every editor/IDE mentioned in this thread, but they simply didn't make me feel comfortable. I know it is very subjective and most probably it will appear that I'm the only one voting for Netbeans ;)
Another thing that is important for me is that only a few of mentioned here software run both on Windows and Linux OS - so, I have a only a few to choose from.

I just bought ASUS EEE PC 904HD and I installed Xubuntu on it -- so I am looking for Linux IDEs and Netbeans seems cool and it ever works on my netbook :D

That's the reason why there are as many editors as there are programmers. And why "Disappointed with editor X" threads are so uninformative, yet 99% of programmers agree with the title. ;)

That's important to me, which is why I use Eclipse PDT.

PS - Netbeans IDE is very nice.
