Notepad ++, With an epic ammount of configuration I can actually get an editor that does exactly what I want it to.

1. Display readable code.
2. Manage projects.
3. Get rid of the bulk.

I couldn't care less about an editor that had 1001 features if I did not use 1000 of them, Notepad ++ after the most exhausting search of my life fulfilled my needs :).

Hope others like it too, I'd donate if I had a job every time I used it :P.
Thanks,

Craig.

So I've been using out Netbeans again for the last week, I'm starting to like it. haha I'm such a hypocrit. But no actually I installed an HD 4670 with 1 GB GDDR2 Vram just recently becuase the price of these cards has come down alot in the past 8 months, and Java virtual machine must like it becuase it working ALOT faster now,except for the lag part when you start when the virtual machine complies the code.
But hey I guess if that is what it takes...  The price you pay for writing apps in interpreted languages is that you'll need some good hardware to use it. ;)

The Java Runtime VM doesn't compile the code when you execute .class files. At that point it has already been compiled.

Netbeans 6.8 does seem even better than 6.7. Many improvement + it does seem more responsive.

Nusphere Phped is the one for me. Actually, i am very surprised that it isnt included in the survey. It is more fast than eclipse and zend studio, serves more customizing options(customizing auto-complete times makes coding really fast), it has real good project management capabilities.

Earlier in the thread I mentioned that I use this IDE as well.  The only other IDE that compared in terms of speed was Zend 5.5, which was the version before ZendEclipse.

There is one thing that PHPED does that drives me insane to no end though.  When it auto-completes a function it puts the caret between the parens, which is fine.  But when you type the closing paren yourself it adds an extra paren instead of just overwriting the existing one.  I tried to find a setting that controls this but couldn't.  :(

Example:
Code: [Select]
file_get_contents(|);  // # Typed: file_get_cont<space>
file_get_contents('foo'|); // # Typed: 'foo'
file_get_contents('foo')|); // #typed: )
                                         // and now there's two closing parents  :(

I got this with quotes in NB 6.8. I can swear to Rasmus it wasn't working this way in 6.7 and below.

I have NB 6.8 Beta at home and it works correctly with parens.  I haven't noticed one way or the other with quotes; if I remember I'll check tonight.

Yeah, I installed netbeans (actually from seeing your sig over and over) and had mixed thoughts. I did like the actual error checking instead of just syntax highlighting, but the auto quote/bracket thing was aweful!

It's one of those things you either like or don't like , do or don't do. I switched off of it (and removed it as I went back to *nix) and stuck with something a little more simple.. Just don't need those features. VIM/Mousepad

Ok... so I messed up quotes with braces {} and PHP code with JS code. And to make it more elusive, it doesn't happen everytime...
