Best editor for PHP

vim
there really isn't anything better
just use vim for everything and be happy
you can program vim to help you program
caution though: using vim may take a week before you even break even with your current editor in terms of productivity, but after a week (maybe more) you will start to believe in vim.

for every bit of effort you put into vim it kicks it back out and then some

been using for 3 or 4 years now can't remember but I do recall having tons of 'cheat sheets' that I would refer to.

then at some point muscle-memory kicks in and you can really get some work done

then enlightenment begins, you start bending spoons with vim commands and sometimes I can even hover slightly off the ground

For anyone on Mac I'd recommend NetBeans. Much nicer than Zend (I've personally hated since they switch to eclipse) and uses allot less resources than having a VM running with PHPed (which really is the best PHP IDE imho).

To those vi(m) fans, have you seen the VI plugin for zend? It does a pretty good job also Komodo has a VI mode.

I have been using notepad++. But after reading this topic i downloaded zend studio 8, and the very first sight of it blew my mind away, i was unbearably slow as well. I seemed to be too difficult for a starter who has never used IDE editor.

Can someone recommend any other editor? I am looking for a php-editor that could validate my php script, and that could tell me about possible mistakes. But that doesn't interfere with my code and doesn't automatically edit me without me knowing it.
 
I use DreamWeaver CS5. Does a good job with syntax highlighting and css.
