Netbeans 6.7.1 1b) What are the pros and cons of it? Pros: - Cross platform Mac OS X/linux/windows - Debugging - Multiple themes (some are faster then others) - Good UML plugin - Good regular expression testing plugin - Can strip back the interface to just leave project tree view and editor view (like eclipse) - Lots of other IDE standard features subversion, FTP et cetera - Can integrate with bugzilla (although some features are buggy) - Great conflict resolving view - Highlighting for .diff and .patch files - Custom font support - Python support - Development of IDE is very active Cons: - No word wrap/soft wrap - Having a little trouble (random crashes) with 6.8 M1/2 on OS X - At times memory usage gets a bit high. - Earlier versions were a bit "clunky", try MetalLookAndFeel if you experience this 2) What other PHP IDE’s have you had experience with? - Eclipse PDT - PHPEclipse - Komodo - Aptana - TextMate (not really an IDE) Cam On Wed, Oct 21, 2009 at 8:11 PM, Rob van der Linde <[email protected]> wrote: > Some of us don't use IDE's and prefer editors for various reasons, so > does that mean we can't answer the questionnaire?
