    I have always used Notepad, I have become quick when using it, or atleast quick enough. I have never bothered with other stuff so I guess I wouldnt know what I was missing.

    I sometimes use notepad. But always use Microsoft Frontpage to edit my PHP site and to integrate with HTML. I have try Dreamweaver, but the interface is not user friendly..

    Eclipse + the PHPEclipse plugin (with debugging enabled).

    I appreciate that Notepad might be faster in some cases, but I couldn't imagine how it could make you more productive in the long run... it doesn't even let you jump to a line number!

    Anyway, 'horses for courses' and all that jazz but I find that the positives far outweigh any negatives by using a decent editor.

    Geez, that's a sure way to make me out to be an absolute moron :)

    OK, so it has that... but I think the point still stands that it really is a 'bottom of the barrel' kind of editor in this instance.

    Project outlines, the ability to fold code, jump to a function definition, do search and replace across files... deal with UNIX / Windows line ends (which I think is an understated necessity of editors). I use all of these things regularly enough for them to be a requirement.

    To each his own, but I think I would find that it gets in the way of 'developing'.

    Have you tried to Turn on the status bar to easily locate javascript errors?
    Shows Ln (line number), and col (column) as reported by IE debugger to easily go to the location in JS code...
    Bye :)
