Nothing is stopping you from trying it for free. And really the price is nothing...Normally I use Eclipse. But when I just need to look at it quickly, TextMate is the way to go. Many people mentioned Sublime Text 2 but I was set back with the price (also because TextMate 2 is coming too)
I tried it for a while, seemed pretty smooth but in that limited time frame I didn't feel it any superior to TextMate so I just go back and wait for TextMate 2. One thing I really love about Sublime Text is the developer updates it very often!Nothing is stopping you from trying it for free. And really the price is nothing...
Those links I had above. You really need to look at the second one which explains some things you might have overlooked. Also I am still using the free version, it prompts me maybe twice a night to purchase which is around about 6 hours working with it. So trying it out for a while shouldn't be much of a problem. I still want to make absolutely sure before paying for it as I have made some early purchases recently which turned out to be bad ideas.I tried it for a while, seemed pretty smooth but in that limited time frame I didn't feel it any superior to TextMate so I just go back and wait for TextMate 2.

Sublime Text 2 is great, tons of keyboard shortcutsRobbo, thanks for pointing out Sublime Text 2! Looks amazing and its very fast so I'm impressed. We'll see if this replaces my current set of tools that I've become accustomed to.
Its just a shame that both look like they had their GUI's designed by a blind man - they look horrid, especaially PHPStorm on the macI'd maintain that PhpStorm and Zend Studio are the best I've found so far, both based on Java.

I was being politeI think a blind man is a very generous term.
I rather like the changes they made in the latest version of PhpStorm.Its just a shame that both look like they had their GUI's designed by a blind man - they look horrid, especaially PHPStorm on the mac

Then again, I also hide a few of the border windows but I don't think it's that bad.
Perhaps but it's also not so horrible-looking that it's distracting me from coding.It could be made A LOT better though.
