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!!!!
