Netbeans *is* a Java IDE. But the PHP Plugin makes it quite useful for
PHP development too.

Or Netbeans with the PHP Plugin ;-)

The same is true for the Netbeans Editor. I think the IDEs generally
provide the same functionality. Even Android development can be done
with Netbeans as well as with Eclipse. So it's mostly a personal
preference, which IDE you prefer.

The same applies to Netbeans.

Debugging with Netbeans needs xdebug installed on the server side as a
PHP extension, but this should not a be a big problem (and a debug
extension is needed for Eclipse too).
