Yeah I installed it following SitePoints newsletter article yesterday. Given that I don't rely on IDE functionality much at all, Net Beans is certainly one of the better text editors I have found on the Linux platform. I'm running v6 on Mandriva 2009 and its great for every reliance I have:
a) completion of brackets and quotes b) function/method list c) project file explorer The code completion and tooltips work well even with my hybrid architectures. Showing when a line contains an error is handy as I have got used to with easyeclipse for PHP, but the tooltips aren't annoying like the latter. Also handy that it automatically generates some of the PHPDoc contents when you type /** above a function, much like Zend IDE does but with a much nicer price. Overall, I feel this could become my editor of choice.
