I'm using vim exclusively for all my programming needs actually. When you stare at code for 10+ hours every it helps to have that syntax highlighting there :) Only drawback is the classic vi vs. emacs debate that goes on at the office x_x
It's also work mentioning that when learning PHP, or any other programming language, it's well worth your time to actually spend it learning the language and worrying about the IDE later on after you've gotten a little bit of coding under your belt. I got started learning PHP using Notepad, and still use it when on Windows. With that being said, I've used PHPEdit (back in the day when I used to sneak programming in at my graphic design job) and while the syntax highlighting is very nice to have I thought there was way too much bloat. Way too many "features" that just plain got in the way of coding. But this is going way off topic...
