Well, this "somewhat decent" PHP programmer uses TextMate for all his editing because I do more than just PHP: I do Rails, Perl, XML file manipulation and text editing. Yes, I agree that it's more of an advanced editor than an IDE, but every time I use something like Eclipse, it just feels so slow and non-responsive. I like my apps to be snappy and responsive, and I feel like I sit around waiting for Eclipse to finish doing things quite a bit. Upgrading my laptop to not make Eclipse so slow is just not an option: I double-dog dare people using Intel Macs (I use a MacBook) to run Eclipse AND Windows XP running inside Parallels. It responds very slowly and is an exercise for masochists who don't have 2 GB of memory installed. I liked using Zend Studio (great debugging, integrated version control support), but my current employer won't shell out the money for a copy so I'm back to using my own licensed copy of TextMate and attaching Cyberduck to it to allow me to open and edit files remotely. For debugging I use a remote terminal, tailing the logs and extensive use of debugging options within my code (otherwise known as print statements and dumping stuff to the error logs. ;) ) -- Chris Hartjes My motto for 2007: "Just build it, damnit!" rallyhat.com - digitial photo scavenger hunt @TheBallpark - http://www.littlehart.net/attheballpark @TheKeyboard - http://www.littlehart.net/atthekeyboard --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Cake PHP" group.
