jedd did you give Netbeans a try? I know it's java and it might feel sluggish on an older PC, but if you have a decent development box it's a pretty good editor.

I'm on a quad-core with 2GB ... and it's depressing just how sluggish an editor (uttered contemptuously) can appear when written in java, eh?

I tried Aptana for a while as it was meant to be similar to, but nicer (more PHP friendly for starters) than, Netbeans and Eclipse.

I see that Aptana has also recently dropped its PHP support, and suggested users try to plug in PDT in its place. Given my negative experience of Eclipse was what led me to follow people's suggestions to use Aptana instead ... this is very sad news.

I'm sure I tried NetBeans a while back - might crank it up again, just in case. Okay - just kicked off the d/l for (Though I am far from optimistic.) Bizarrely Debian is only packaging 6.0 in its unstable branch, but 6.8 appears to be the current release.

Else maybe sharpen your VI(M) skills? ;-)

There are doubtless some spiffy features of vim that I don't know about yet - I only discovered that it can open .zip files by accident the other day, f.e. - but I've become a bit addicted to some of the GUI features of an IDE.

I had to use vi on a UK keyboard yesterday - a truly painful experience ... comparable to playing nethack on a dvorak keyboard I suspect.
