Fair enough, it's not free, but you get great tools all builtin, such as FTP, Check in/out, code truncation and a Reference Library.

Oh, personally I use Vim, it's the best editor in the world, but it's nothing like a normal editor. I will take a while to get used to, but if you get trhough the initial bumps, you'll never go back..

Of course, if its good syntax highlighting you're after, you have to get TextPad (http://www.textpad.com/). It's really good in that you can configure everything to your own needs.

At the moment I think I am leaning more towards Eclipse...
I was putting together all the plugins I wanted to use then I found PHPDevelopmentStudio1.1.1 so I'm going to try this today... it is basically all the plugins I found in a prebuilt IDE.
I've heard of a lot of people using Vim for development (I always thought it was a console editor)... what makes it so special?

I was looking at Eclipse pluggins, but it looks like there isn't anything for PHP yet so that is a bit surprising...
