[PHP] Which editor do you use?

[JoDaY]

Hi !

I find kwrite very fine, it can reduce big function like a file root...

It colors the code and detect same syntax like ( ) { } : very usefull in order to not believe one

Gvim and bluefish. BTW, Gvim is available for Windows and Mac too.

heh, I just got done coding a new class with KWrite. Bluefish and Quanta can both be easily installed with apt-get, but I found the KWrite to be the best. Need to try out the Zend studio though.

Hilarious. KWrite is the base class for Kate which is the editor used in Quanta. In other words, they are the same WRT text editors. However Kate adds additional functionality and Quanta adds even more. For instance in Quanta you can see your structure tree of HTML or PHP logic, includes, functions, classes, objects... scoped variable data from included objects... scoped auto completion of variables and built in functions (local functions and objects is in work in CVS) plus you can live preview PHP with projects, upload directly to multiple profiles, manage template libraries, create code abbreviations and script the editor. For instance I manage data classes with Kommander dialogs that make complex and diverse methods point and click. Also as of 3.2 Quanta has a built in deeply integrated PHP debugger.

Saying KWrite is better is like saying I like sitting on my car's engine better than driving it.

BTW think of Quanta as a FLOSS competitor to Zend that runs much faster as native code.
