I wonder how much truth is there in the story I've read somewhere of a guy, who created a working JavaScript IDE in Excel

I don't even want to think about what that would look like.

Other - Geany. Have been using it for the past year or two and does everything I need.

I have heard people raving about vi(m) too. If nano is not available, I know how to use it on a (very) basic level for quick changes, I just haven't had the time to sit down and see what all of the fuss is about, because initially it appears to be so long winded to use...

I've yet to see a reason why would I want to use vim (other than being able to say I use it, just like all other cool kids do). It seems like quite a different approach than we're accustomed to see in IDEs...

Ok.. downloaded, installed, now browsing the wiki :P

What I really want to use is an editor with File Management capabilties, PHP function recognition, Regex Search and Replace and FTP access, then I believe I'd be a happy camper/coder.  Too bad that editor has to be Dreamweaver.  Perhaps there is another one out there that I don't know about?

Notepadd++!!

You can download a plugin for file management, I've started using it recently. PHP function recognition is built in, just needs to be turned on. It also gives a popup of the required paramaters. There is standard and regex search and replace. I'm not to sure about FTP access, I believe that there is a plugin for that, I just open one the old fashioned way ;)
I like starting my code with session_start();

Code: [Select]
ini_set('display_errors', 1);
ini_set('error_reporting', E_ALL);

Not related to editors, but you folks shouldn't be using FTP to transfer your livelihood around.  Use SSH.

The polls probably needs Aptana as an option. I know at least three people that use that.

Never heard of it, I will have to look into that.

Can we add PhpED from NuSphere?

It's a very nice IDE.
