Well, I only have a Mac, sadly PhpED is Windows only. I have a paid copy of PhpStorm already too. It looked relatively interesting, but I don't see it coming to Mac anytime soon. Quite happy with PhpStorm though, even if there was a Mac version I'm not sure if I'd want to switch. IntelliJ was always a good IDE when I was into Java development, and PhpStorm has a familiar feel to it. Easy to work with, all around it's perfect for me and it just works.Trial that and PhpStorm before making a decision. They both cost money for full versions.
To anyone using PhpED, what does it look like? I can only find screenshots on computers < Windows XP.

Basically my point, too.I'd definitely recommend PhpStorm, and PhpED looks like something that should be given a shot as well.
Vim is superior for editing code. I wonder if there is a webpage explaining Vims ability for exploring code as this is what I do most of the time.I've had PHPStorm for about a year, but end up doing most of my editing and exploring in vim on the server. This may be irrational on my part, but I haven't worked on any large projects yet and unfortunately, I seem to have caught the vim disease:

I think I have recovered from the vim disease. I just don't code enough at all these days to make it worth it. Still use it on the server, of course.I seem to have caught the vim disease
That would be Zend Studio. Certainly far from free. Probably more expensive than PhpStorm but I've not looked at it for a while.I think that many years ago Kier recommended a Zend suite. Is that still an option?
As a free, open source text editor, yes. I actually use it as my text editor when I'm making file edits on a server. Pretty good support out of the box for syntax highlighting, auto completion, etc. I think it can be extended with various plugins for more enhanced support.Is Atom any good?
I use nano for making file edits on my server.I actually use it as my text editor when I'm making file edits on a server.
Yeah, I use that a lot, too, but I'm looking for a bonafide IDE.Notepad++
Much respect, but I'm really looking for something that reads an entire PHP project in and understands PHP syntax well enough that I can click on a method and be taken to its definition, even if the definition is in a file in a different folder that I haven't even opened yet.Textpad.
