Not to revive a dead issue potentially but I have been using Netbeans (Also Java based.) with Mercurial for my development environment and I have never looked back since. This is coming from a developer who almost had a "VI" tattoo on his calf. It is pretty robust and version 6.8 is as solid as I could ask for. I do recommend you take a look at it. There are Linux packages available as well as binary install files for Windows users. It is actually so good that I have installed it on Windows and Linux so that when I dual boot I feel comfortable in any environment. Take a look here: http://netbeans.org/downloads/index.html. You can download the PHP specific build or just download the massive "ALL" option if there are other languages you work with.
My big problem with PDT and Zend's work on the product is the lack of speed. Eclipse would slow down to a snails pace and then error out or exit on me violently. It became apparent that it was not the environment for me when I lost a large chunk of recent work because the IDE couldn't manage its own memory efficiently (Netbeans has an indicator bar to tell you how much memory you are using and I have never seen it spike over 150mb). Hope this helps. -Anthony
