I've just finished using Quanta+ for doing a fairly small PHP frontend to a
MySQL database. I didn't
choose this for any reason other than it got installed on the Suse-based
laptop I was using. Got to say
though, it's pretty slick (syntax highlighting, inbuilt docs, inbuilt
preview, etc) - and best of all free from Sourceforge.

However, since I'm now getting more into the web development, (heck I quite
like PHP!), side of things
I'm now thinking of spending the USD49.99 (CD version, download-only is
USD10 cheaper) and getting the
uprated version - Quanta Gold - from TheKompany. Certainly the feature list
and screenshots look good.

To me, USD500 sounds an awful lot of money for a 'mere' PHP/Perl editor.
The cynic in me would wonder
if it's not overkill. I used to do all my PHP and Perl stuff just using the
appropriate modes in Xemacs which is free. Xemacs
doesn't have the nice inbuilt docs and project handling that Quanta does
though.

Just my personal opinion above.

Bob Cross.
