PHP Designer is a bit too buggy for me. It's very good, but in Windows right now, I use Notepad2. It needs tab support, but that's about it - past that, it's great.

The best PHP editor is the one you like best.

I like Quanta.

I've heard much about ConTEXT, it should be really good(?)
I haven't tried it by myself, but it's maybe a try worth.

Well, I agree with a_thing on 2 points. First, and most importantly, use something you like. This means trying things until you find one you like. Second, Quanta is a good choice (in my opinion). However, for management of extremely large projects (or lots of projects), you will find it has some issues (such as code completion that is too many layers deep, or from a files that's included in a file that's included in a file...etc).

As far as Eclipse, I like it. However, I do NOT care for the phpeclipse plugin. Instead I would recommend the PHPIDE plugin (being worked on by Zend. However, it still lacks ina couple areas (but is DEFINITELY making progress).

My personal favorite is Zend Studio, but the Pro version will set you back about $300USD.

I think that a lot of it depends on how much coding you do. I code PHP professionally, so saving even small amounts of time makes it worth spending the $300. I actually regularly use: Zend Studio Pro, Macromedia's Studio (Including Dreamweaver), Eclipse with PHPIDE and Aptana, Quanta, notepad, and VI.

One last note: Zend Studio and Eclipse are both Cross-Platform (Java based apps that run on Windows, Linux, and MAC). If you develop on different platforms, consistency is nice.

I've used quite a few so far, from bbedit on apple osx to vim/bluefish/screem/gphpedit/eclipse on linux and also on windows I've used VS.Php for visual studio, context (best textpad out there), and PHPEdit.

My favorites though have to be PHPEdit on windows and on linux Bluefish :banana: .

I personally love PHP Designer 2007 and Zend Studio myself.
