However, it wouldn't make a suitable FAQ entry because the opinions of which IDE is best are just that: opinions. And to list just a few of the IDEs available on the official site would insinuate that both the PHP community and the project itself endorse them. A great resource for something like that would be to check out a PHP-oriented site. Once again, http://www.phpbuilder.com/ comes to mind. I don't know statistics on that-versus-other sites, but I'd hazard a guess that PHP Builder probably has one of - if not the - busiest, most active forum communities. -- Daniel P.
