Hi all, I've tried googling around to find some blogs with decent information on whether Zend Eclipse is mature enough to make the jump over from 5.5.x just yet. Admittedly, I've dropped Zend Studio as of late and been writing all of my code in TextMate -- but at the end of the day when a project is complex enough, Zend Studio is much more powerful than TextMate with all of its features and remote debugging capabilities. Anyhow, I'm curious if it's worth it to check out Zend Eclipse yet. We're a team of about 5-6 developers and I've been getting asked by a few colleagues if I've tried it out yet since I'm usually the one to try out the newer technologies. I'd love to hear some feedback. Thanks! /sf
I've recently switched. On my machine (which hasn't been updated for a long time...) Eclipse runs a lot slower. I only have 1 GB of RAM. Zend Studio has been running faster for me after I turned off the SVN integration. I just use the CLI for SVN anyway.
Sometimes in Eclipse it'll slow down so much that I have to slow down my typing. Mostly that's in CSS files. I don't know if it's Eclipse in general, but Shift+Tab rarely works, and it drives me nuts. I've tried to mess with the key bindings to no avail. Debugging is a lot slower in Eclipse. Some of the default key bindings in Zend Studio are different in Zend Eclipse as well, but that was somewhat expected and hasn't bothered me too much.
I've been using the official Zend Eclipse now since the day it came out. Next week I'm going to switch back to regular Zend Studio. It was nicer on the RAM and for the most part "Just Worked"(TM).
That's my experience. I'd be interested to hear other people's experiences. -- Ray Hauge www.primateapplications.com -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
