Not sure what OS but ... It may or may not work for you, but going
the reverse route of lightweight editors and FirePHP is a good free
simple route. Originally I felt the same that the more tools in an
IDE the better and was excited about the idea of a DB query tool in
the IDE but things really slow down after that.
A new OS X editor for PHP that is pretty nice is Coda. No Windows
clone yet.

It would be nice to see a "How I Work" section on nyphp.org for IDE
recommendations. I feel the topic comes up alot w/ good pros and cons.

Hi!
Since years I am using Luckasoft's EnginSite PHP Editor as IDE. It
works well and has many features that more expensive IDEs offer.
There is one major drawback to this IDE: the implementation of the
debugger (PHP dbg) is....well....goofy. If I want to debug a series
of scripts I have to automatically set a breakpoint at the
beginning of each script. So when I start at login and want to
debug something 6 script files down, I have to stop and continue
six times before I get to the real breakpoint where I want to look
at things. That is so utterly annoying and Luckasoft is kinda
unresponsive to this issue that I set out to look for another IDE.
I really like EnginSite PHP, but when adding a bunch of echos for
debugging is faster than using a debugger, something's not right.
I looked so far at Zend, but don't get the GUI. It seems to be
overly complicated. I then tried some of these Eclipse based
hodgepodges, but they lack a lot of features if I ever can get them
to run. And I tried NuSphere PHPEd. I like it a lot and consider
the Pro version, but I and my wallet can't get over the sticker
shock of 299$. I'm not saying the app isn't worth that, but for a
hobbyist with a budget of about 0$ that is a bit pricey.
So, the question of the day is: Which other IDEs do you recommend
that I look at?
Any pointers are welcome.
David
