Do you know any another IDE that support CodeIgniter framework directly?

Any good quality IDE (not text editor, but full IDE. Many people confuse the two.) will be able to add all CodeIgniter files to a "project", parse them, and then handle autocomplete for CodeIgniter, or any other framework, out of the box without a plug in. It sounds to me like your product is a glorified text editor being touted as an IDE.

To me, for it to be an IDE for Web Development, it should have the following features or else it's just a text editor. (In otherwords, without the following features, I am telling you it's not really an "Integrated Development Environment.")
* Does it have integrated code debugging? My IDE does.
* Does it handle Syntax checks? My IDE does.
* Does it have pop-up tool tips telling you how to complete function parameters? My IDE does.
* Does it have FTP/SFTP Support for remote editing? My IDE does.
* Does it have SVN/CVS support? My IDE does.
* Does it have SSH/telnet support to make it easier to work with your server's command line when you're setting up a site? My IDE does.


I certainly don't mind paying for a good IDE. I expect to get paid for the coding I do, and am happy to pay others for the coding they do if it is what I am in need of. (Matthew 10:7 says that the laborer deserves his wages, and I happen to agree.)

But I do more than code in PHP with CodeIgniter. I also do a lot of JavaScript, and have frameworks there that need the support of AutoComplete. I also do programming for desktop boxes in Windows/Linux/Mac from time to time (my most recent job) and need an IDE that can support what I do there as well. Your application simply would not be robust enough to even come close to meeting my needs.

Even if I only considered CodeIgniter coding, it still falls short of what I am currently using by a large margin. I'm using UEStudio and it does way more than AutoComplete for code. It also gives IntelliTips, which once AutoComplete has completed a CodeIgniter function for me, it will tell me what parameters need to be passed to that function (without having to go to the help files.) Not just for CodeIgniter, but every framework out of the box, without the need for plug-ins. You can configure it for context sensitive help for almost anything. I've got it set up for quite a few languages and frameworks, including PHP, XHTML, HTML, JavaScript, CodeIgniter, and more. Except I didn't configure it for web access (which is easily done in UEStudio), I configured it for local help files and local web pages, which display much faster than from online.

Of course, a person pays a bit more for something that does all the UEStudio does. It's normally $129.95 US, but currently on sale for the holidays for $79.99 US. (Shareware, so you can try it for 45 days before you buy. I tried it and couldn't live without it after giving myself time to learn it.)

I've tried pretty much everything out there, and I just won't bother looking any further.
