phpDesigner

www.mpsoftware.dk/phpdesigner.php

I was so happy to find a PHP IDE that doesn’t suck. I had basically given up all hope of finding a decent (non-Java) PHP development tool. Then I discovered phpDesigner from MPSoftware and I suddenly found new faith in man kind.

This is an excellent IDE that almost compares with Visual Studio. It is smooth, fast and pretty intuitive. It has a primitive version of intellisense which isn’t terrible (unlike Aptana/failbeans/etc), and has reasonably smart formatting. There is some room for improvement but it blows all other PHP IDEs out of the water. Reasonably priced too.
