We already heard from users who were confused why there are two NetBeans IDEs in SXDE. If there's a concern that PHP (or Ruby, or C/C++) users won't use a full IDE, there should be another way to let them use only the functionality they need. > For NB 6.0, you are correct, it can be extended to add the php module > from update center.

I know there was a reason why the documentation was focusing on integration with Postgres, but a good MySQL documentation is also a priority.
