I love TextMate. One of the best features, that no one has seemed to mention, is the validation. It has increbile validation tools. The XML validation is a godsend. I am surprised how well it works with newer languages like XHTML and XML.

What about eclipse.org and phpeclipse plugin? It’s free, open source. Few hours to install but I’m sure the best choice for every programmer. Very customizable, a lot of plugins.

TextMate is certainly great, but surely there are more exciting features than snippets – Java IDEs have had this sort of things for 3 or 4 years now. If you want to see the state of the art in IDEs, check out IntelliJ IDEA. Unfortunately it doesn’t do PHP…

Surprisingly, PHP is really lacking as far as IDEs go despite its popularity.

Grr damn it, you guys just made me want OS X that much more. I’m getting a mini soon, with soon beeing around 2-3 weeks. I’ll give it a try.

After using TextMate to develop some HTML templates it’s fantastic. I really love the snippets and can’t wait to try it out with some actual PHP usage.

Agreed on TextMate. I bought a Mac Mini to play around with OS X. I had no idea TM existed before I bought it. I found it my second day of using OS X, and I paid for the license on the third day. Now it’s the only thing I develop on, I love it.

Wow – This is incredible…

I -love- snippets. Being able to add: IPB simple_construct queries with a hit of a tab is awesome.

Rikki – Do you use svnX? If so – how did you set up the repos-update on hotkey thing?
