Netbeans 6.7 with PHP support Aptana 1.5 (standalone or Eclipse plugin) Zend Studio 6.1.2 (not free ;( )
My experiences:
Code completion/parser in Netbeans better than Aptana (Aptana also crashes / gets in a endless loop at points when it cannot parse / code assist a file resulting in java heap exhaustion / cpu up 50%)
Aptana browser integration & debugger integration is better. I like the tab away browser, and the debugger xdebug works more reliable than in Netbeans – however still has its times when it does just not attach
Zend Studio: set up was not working ok for me, couldn’t get the debugger working. Script only debugging works.
After switching back and forth between Aptana, Netbeans and Zend studio I guess I settled now with Netbeans. I might startup Aptana occasionally if i have debugger issues. It would be really great if the xdebugger would just work on Netbeans…
