Hi, There was a discussion about that on Google+ ... IDEs mentioned there: __Free * Eclipse PDT (5x) * Aptana - based on Eclipse but not using PDT for PHP (2x) * Netbeans (12x) * VIM (6x) * KDevelop (1x) * gedit (3x) __NonFree * Sublime Text 2 (6x) - USD $59 * PhpStorm (7x) - €94 personal, €189 commercial * Komodo (2x) - $382 * Zend Studio - also based on Eclipse (1x) - €299 Just by a rough view over the comments, not really reading any of those :) My personal opinion: * Eclipse PDT ** not used since 2008 ** was way to slow, specially the file-search ** missed some good PHP code support ... code-completion for classes and it's functions was quite limited at that time * Netbeans ** not used since 2009 ** seemed as the best free IDE for PHP to me * Zend Studio ** not used since 2008 ** seemed to be Eclipse PDT with some extensions .. * PhpStorm ** Costs a bit of money but it's really worth it. ** intelligent code-completion ** view class-structure as UML ** helper for refactoring ** supports changelists and has it's own stash ** just faster than Netbeans and Eclipse .. That's how I used this programs. Netbeans, Eclipse PDT and PhpStorm have way more features but this is what I used the time I tested them. I personally would use PhpStorm if you have money - else Netbeans.
