Haha.. well, with any luck, 10 years from now I'll have as much content. hah
(or even ANY code written)

I sort of had the same idea almost a decade ago...

You can see how well I've kept it up :-v

There are lots of code repositories but none that I go directly to
right off. Usually I hit Yahoo/Google and do a search for what I'm
looking for and find whatever looks best for my situation. That way,
in theory, I find some of the newest/freshest ideas and techniques.
Not always the best, but it's usually a starting place.

Since you asked..
I use Zend Studio (http://www.zend.com) and Crimson Editor
(http://www.crimsoneditor.com)... if not just
Notepad/vi/other-generic-text-editor-native-to-OS. My workmate uses
Komodo (http://www.activestate.com/Products/Komodo/).

I've found that people ask these kinds of questions over and over
again.. and there are so many great websites out there with great
code snippets or information in general. And never a lack of people
who give opinions on what their favorite is... be it framework, php
editor, or favorite brand of shiraz.
So a little while ago I registered userrated.com (nothing there now
but an image cropping test script done in PHP...with an awesome pic of
a pirate llama... you heard me!).
Anyway, my idea for this site is to create a review site for such
things like PHP editors or even someone's favorite wine, restaurent,
flea market, whatever. So when someone on the PHP list asks about
flea markets...err... editors.. You can say Go to userrated.com and
hit the PHP section.
The idea would be to enter just about anything and have properties
associated with the item that can be itemized or just rated.
PHP Editors:
Version [free entry]
OS's supported [list]
Ease of Use [1-5]
IDE? [Y/N/Partial?]
Debugger? [Y/N/Partial?]
Stability [1-5]
Overall impression [1-5]
Wine:
Type [free entry or checkbox?]
Origin [free entry]
Dry-Sweet [1-5]
Year
Vineyard
Color
Whatever-else-wine-snobs-judge-by :)
And the other thing I'd like to do with it is be able to show all
ratings/reviews/comments or filter by date range because sometimes
things become outdated or obsolete or were great a year ago and now
aren't supported anymore. So if you showed all dates it may say
Average rating 7.5 but if you showed the 100 ratings giving in the
last 2 months, it may drop to 4.0.
Just throwing this out there in case anyone has any thoughts or
comments or hell.. maybe a site already exists that does all this.
Two things inspired this idea... (1) the constant weekly What PHP
editor do you use? What's the best? questions (hah) and (2) my lack
of ability to remember all the odd restaurants, wines, beers, camping
spots, dog groomers, whatever that my girlfriend and I check out. Was
that Indian restaurant in Baltimore any good? Was it the one on
Charles Street or down near Lexington Market that was the good one
with the all-you-can-eat curry at lunch on weekends? (*shiver* scary
hah)
So when I get un-lazy and stop playing World of Warcraft long enough
to do some PHP projects.. is this something anyone would find useful?
I'd like to open it up so just about anyone can create a category and
add properties to the item being rated. Probably have to approve
items so it doesn't get crazy, but still might be cool.
Ok... off to stare at the pirate llama for a bit so I don't have to do
real work.

They are all variants of that. All nifty little tools. We should
gather
those up someplace...shouldn't we?
In similar light, what development environments do you people program
in? How do you run and test your code?

PS: This is my first posting to this group.

Welcome to the insanity.
I use Eclipse. For testing I have a test server where all of the code
gets
hammered using a combination of automated and live user units. I am in
a
microsoft shop, but have migrated web app servers to Apache (save for
one
that I just cannot get rid of yet due to legacy ASP).
