My own personal experience has gone from Modelworks SitePad on
Windows -> Bluefish on Linux -> TextMate on OS X.
I actually liked Bluefish, but have not kept up on what the latest
1.0 delivered.

Since there are a lot of people here who probably code in PHP(ha)
and use Linux, I thought I'd ask here if anyone is familiar with
GUI programmer editors in Linux.
Yes, yes, I can and do use VI when on linux. But my work habits
have formed over the years based on using the best tool for my
mindset on the platform I had to use(Windows XP).
So my editor of choice has been UltraEdit.
The features of UltraEdit which I like(and they are probably
laughably small):
FTP built into the editor:
I can open my files right off a remote server without any fiddle
faddling around.
SSH built into the editor:
More importantly FTP over SSH so I can still open files right off a
remove server.
Automatic code collapse:
Ultraedit has a tag library for PHP and HTML.
When I'm editing a PHP file, it automatically find the start and
stop of tags and I can collapse them. So I can open a huge PHP
file, collapse all the functions into single lines, and than scan
through and find the function I'm interested in.
While coding, once I have finished a section, I can collapse it and
see what came before it and goes after it.
It is this last feature that I have had a hard time finding in
other editors. Heck, I downloaded the latest Dreamweaver for a
ProStores project(as it was the only way to get the who collection
of program scripts out of prostores without downloading 1 by 1) and
the best it had to offer was that I could create my own code foldings.
At the past PHP meeting, it finally sunk in to me that for years
I've been saying "I'd really love to develop in Linux, but I have
to run Lotus Notes for work and you can't get the full environment
to work reliably in Linux[ok, that's not quite TRUE. Those
individuals who were not second class citizens at work were welcome
to use the Linux test platform which had all such goodness built
into it. However, such a platform was not for the likes of a
second class contractor such as myself. The best I could get was a
notes client, but no development or admin client without which I
was dead in the water)
Well, that time is past, and other than the periodic UG meeting I
will likely never set foot in that company again, and even if I do
I won't need to keep my personal system compatible with their work
environment. So, it's time to bite the bullet. Time to learn to
code in linux and break my bad Windows habits.
All I need is the editor to do it with.
So any suggestions?
