Some other alternatives to try out:

- Komodo IDE: superb editor component, supports like a hundred
programming languages, great extensibility, rusty interface, pricey.

- WaterProof PHPEdit: it's written in .NET and uses ribbon interface. I
particularly hate ribbon interface but at least they've tried to do
something difference.

- Rapid PHP: very lightweight and fast, acceptable feature set, not very
smart editor, cheap.

- phpDesigner: lightweight, cheap, my co-workers love it for some reason
I can't understand.

BTW, NetBeans for PHP is way better that it seems at first sight.
NetBeans only sucks at non-PHP stuff, like most Java editors. For
instance, it cannot open a ISO-8859-1 file in a UTF-8 project.

IMHO, the perfect IDE for PHP does not exist yet. Old text editors got
stuck in year 2004 and string matching based code completion. Modern
IDEs tend to be slow bloated beasts with fancy code intelligence but
poor basic editing capabilities. At least, if you have a fast computer
and money to spend, your options are somehow better.
