Hi folks!

I use XEmacs for both Windows and Linux.
Why?
- automatic indentation and fontifying
- folding
- CVS-Integration
- FASTEST editor to use once you know the keyboard-shortcuts (only a few 
are necessary for basic editing).
- Jumping between buffers, searching, search/replace... everything 
without touching the mouse in no time! And: no editor is as extendable 
as Emacs. If you like you can easily integrate PHP Debugging, for 
instance. There are modes for almost every programming-language 
available....

I have also tried many special PHP-IDEs, but IMHO they all suck at some 
point.
I know that XEmacs looks complicated at first, but it's definitely worth 
to dive into it. I can not imagine a faster and more comfortable editor 
anymore!

Cheerio,

Dan.
