How? Do you just mean the editor-features like syntax-checking, etc. or 
something else?

I also think Zend is a great editor, but what about the speed of the 
IDE? I got a somewhat modern workstation, but I experienced a lot of 
performance-troubles.
After using a lot of fast editors it really bothers me, to not even be 
able to scroll smoothly through the code. After all, it's just a java 
application and the new beta didn't seem to be much faster than the 
earlier versions... :(
That's a really big con IMO.
The features are great of course...

bye,
Murphy
