Форумы / Cotonti / General / Which editor do you use for coding?

I've been using Netbeans for several years now (on Windows, OSX and Ubuntu). It has good PHP support (with autocompletion and code hinting), it's in active development and it has good integration with FTP, version control (Git/Subversion/Mercurial) and XDebug. Eclipse is similar to Netbeans except that it's a lot bigger and it's interface is more complex. As a professional software engineer I use Netbeans as well, so do many of my collegues. Basically Netbeans is considered the default IDE for PHP projects, while Eclipse or IntelliJ are used for Java projects.

Notepad++, TextMate and Sublime Text are not Integrated Development Environments like Netbeans, Eclipse and Dreamweaver, but they are lightweight and fast. They usually offer nothing more than code coloring (no autocomplete/hinting).

If you're looking for a full-featured IDE, I suggest you try Netbeans and Eclipse, and see which has your personal preference. Since these two are so alike, it simply comes down to taste.

PS. If you like I can provide my Netbeans config file so you have all the right settings (code formatting) for working with Cotonti. Also have a look here and here.
