Sorry to be slow getting back - we've had a thirty hour power outage following a storm that ripped off roofs and uprooted trees. A little unusual here in Spain. @everybody and nobody, I dislike Eclipse and Netbeans because 1. (without redoing the sums) I don't understand why an editor should use in excess of 250MB runtime (including java) - even Photoshop uses less than that, and it works. 2. I hate Java. Why is it there? Leave it in AI toasters where it belongs. And stop reinventing uses for it. (java servlets and sh*t like that) 3. They both stopped my PC in its tracks (brand new out the box fully loaded) although NetBeans was a little better. 4. One didn't have drag and drop and the other didn't have something else really basic that I don't remember.
Smultron I tried. It's okay for HTML but I don't think it really cuts it with PHP. Editor/IDE - I don't really care - it doesn't really matter for PHP. TextMate I tried, but please tell me I'm being dumb and you can show line numbers without saving them in the file. Espresso is good but unstable. I haven't tried TextWrangler yet, but I will. I used Emacs as my main editor/IDE for about 12 years. Maybe I'll give it a go again. It has the advantage that it can be used for system level files aswell. Or maybe I'll brush off my C++ skills (blech) and write one in Cocoa or even see if it can be done in Python. Anyway, I'll write a more considered reply a little later when I've caught up with everything else.
