Personally I've been a TextPad user for the last 6 years. But in taking up Zend Framework I'm experimenting with Zend Studio right now.
Since I'm seeing a lot of Eclipse users on here, could anyone comment on the pros/cons of Eclipse compared to Zend Studio? |

Pros for Studio Eclipse:
* You can mix in plugins for just about anything else you might want. One IDE does it all. * Its ultraportable, you get the same interface and tools regardless of your chosen platform. * Support is easier to find via the eclipse community. * Eclipse is free! (tho Zend Studio is not u_u). Cons for Studio Eclipse: * Its got a steep initial learning curve if you are not familiar with full featured IDEs. * Zend is still a little buggy (compared to the non eclipse version) as its relatively new. Things are getting much better however. * It costs real dollars. Pros for Studio 5.5+: * It's a bit more stable than Studio for Eclipse. There's prolly more, but that's what stands out in my head

Seeing how you actually asked for a small 'notepad replacement,' I'm going to be totally crazy and be the only one in the thread to suggest a few: Osx: Textmate Windows: Intype But, personally, I use Zend Studio for Eclipse for my heavyweight stuff. |
