[nycphp-talk] Best editor? Textmate, just too sluggish over a network?

I recently switched from PHPEclipse to the Zend PHP IDE - 
<http://www.zend.com/phpide>.  It's getting updated frequently and I 
suspect it will surpass PHPEclipse.  The earlier versions had some major 
issues with folding and syntax highlighting, but now it's pretty solid.

Download the All-In-One version - it gives you everything you need, just 
unpack it and it's ready to go (be sure to delete your old .workspace 
and .project files).  You get javascript, css, and html highlighting 
with that too.

I haven't tried remote editing in either... is that a 
PHPEclipse-specific feature or a general Eclipse feature?

One note is that Eclipse is a memory hog.  512MB just barely cut it for 
me.  Upgraded to 2.5GB and now I'm flying :)
