    I use Netbeans for all m,y development. Have tried Eclipse, which was far too slow.

    I like to use PHP Designer 7 as a personal preference, however, if you want something free, then I would recommend Eclipse.

    DreamWeaver is the way to go if you are aiming for a long relationship with PHP :p

    I've only used regular notepad, vi in ssh, cpanel's code editor and direct admin's editor... I've never used an external program for my PHP... Maybe I should lol

    ZendStudio used to be great, but now is very slow as it's based on Eclipse.
    Use PhpDesigner for Windows and Komodo if on Mac OS X

    It's all about taste when it comes down to that. Are you looking for a regular editor then crimson, notepad ++, sublime text would suite your needs just fine, even supporting syntax highlighting. If you would like an IDE to autocomplete statements, end brackets etc, then I strongly recommend Eclipse or netbeans. My personal favorite is Eclipse, but that's because I know the shortcuts there, which I haven't studied in netbeans.

    A little warning on notepad ++:
    My friends and I, have been using it for some time, and it happens that when you copy/paste stuff into it, it might make some invisible characters, making your code useless.

    Been using UltraEdit since 1999. Still the best, AFAIAC.
