I'm pretty sure you are talking about using eclipse as a text editor? There are a couple plugins that make eclipse intelligent about your php project. PHPEclipse does do code hinting, I believe PDT does as well. Not to mention netbeans with its PHP Plugin, or how about Zend Studio / Komodo / VS.PHP. They all have code hinting/"intellisense" Eclipse/Java also has a debugger that ~works~.

XDebug and DBG, PHPEclipse and Netbeans/PHP both have support for this. http://www.netbeans.org/features/php/ -- Elijah
