I've used Notepad ++ when it came out and still use it for certain things but switched to Eclipse a few years back due to some better integrations and recently took a month trial in PHP Storm and ended up going with that and so far its been great. I still use Notepad ++ for a number of things but am glad I am on PHP Storm. But again it is a personal preference my experience with Eclipse was one of frustration with its setup and its unpolished features, I know others who swear by it rather than swear about it.

well after testing several php editors/ide here is the list:So i think i will stick with Eclipse for PHP for now
- notepad++ simple editor with syntax highlighting and basic auto completion - free
- vs code: as an editor is great as an IDE is cumbersome: plus FREE
- phpdesigner8 IDE with intellisense, auto completion and easy to use, the problem is paid
- eclipse for php: IDE with simple intellisense and auto completion, cumbersome configuration. plus: free
- PHP STORM: IDE complete and simple to use the problem: very expensive
