There has been a lot of talk on the Web regarding the Eclipse IDE which is regarded as the best editor and IDE for PHP and javascript development and other languages including.
i did give a try on the the new kit and later realized that the latest version of Java JRE is needed to run eclipse. Unfortunately, despite my machine having core2duo processor and 2GB ram i find the editor loading really slow and i find it difficult to open the editor every time to edit a php file. The eclipse IDE is really fun to work with and this slow loading is the only downside.
Despite being a programmer and developer, i am fan of lightweight and fast loading IDEs and there are so many around, which can be downloaded free – see: http://free-php-editor.com.
Of all the IDEs, i think Notepad++ and Netbeans are the best i have seen.
Neverthless, eclipse is fun to work with!
