+1 for TextMate...

IMO with the right bundles, you can basically make it into a nice  
little IDE:
- regex-powered find/replace -- in doc, in selection, or across project
- integrated SCM support
- extensible bundles provide everything from code validation to  
documentation look-ups to snippets for all different languages/ 
frameworks
- you can run quite a few test environments right from TM
- one of my favorites:  you can run code through an interpreter (Perl,  
Python, Ruby, C, Scala, whatever, etc) without saving it -- great for  
experimentation

((I also love CSS Edit for all things CSS -- it's absolutely worth the  
money.  I find it indispensable.))

Most of my work involves writing Ruby, HTML, Javascript, or Python.  I  
don't do much heavy-duty work (i.e. app dev) in PHP. If I did, maybe  
I'd want something like Eclipse.

I love TextMate though -- once I really committed to learning it, I  
found that the effort paid enormous dividends.  I use it for  
everything now.  Even blogging.

Even this email.  :-)
