My Ultimate and Usable Web Development IDE

During the past two years I have been using different IDEs for PHP Development. I used Dreamweaver, Eclipse PDT, PHP Designer and NetBeans IDE but lately I faced some problems when I do some extensive JavaScript coding. This took me to re-enumerate the IDEs for me.

In short I concluded that NetBeans IDE for PHP fulfilled most of my needs.

What I Found Great

  • Usability and easiness of use
  • Extensive Code assistance not only for PHP but also for CSS and JavaScript
  • Easy adding and removing of plugins
  • Very lighter than Eclipse
  • Many of good features of Eclipse are here (like Local History )
  • Built in support for JQuery and other JavaScript Libraries
  • Its free!!!!
