I sure would like to see all the methods and properties available to me as I'm working with cakePHP. Autocomplete and some of that other stuff would be nice, too. I tried the one from Zend, but it seemed to be a bit of overkill for me. Do you use any sort of IDE? What one? Why?
I work with Macs (iBook and now a MacBook) and find myself using TextMate for all my coding (PHP, Ruby, Perl and Python). I used to be a firm believer in using IDE's (I've used Eclipse, Zend Studio and Komodo as well) but keep finding that my combo of a text editor that can open up remote files and the ability to use a terminal on the server I have to work on is the sweet spot for me. I found that autocomplete didn't really save me a lot of time, but having the ability to look up functions right in the editor is nice. That's the strength of a good IDE. Old habits die hard, and I find myself going to www.php.net to look stuff up anyway instead of using the built-in help. Version control hooks are also good to have in an IDE, but I've used command-line tools for version control for ages so again, I never use them if they're built in.
