plus it has the whole api available (like doxygen, but within the IDE)
with popup and code-completion.

debian testing, ~ 1,8 Ghz Athlon with 512 MB. I haven't had any
performance problems with ZEND IDE at least for two years now!
Right now ZEND Studio 3.5 is out and features a complete GUI-rewrite so
performance needs to be evaluated again. @Kasper: Zend Studio 3.5
allows customs highlighting for every file-type. ;)

The real hardcore developers that speak php while sleeping might not
need an IDE. To me using the IDE speeded things up very much plus give
me a great opportunity to "reverse engineer" or understand code cause I
can step by step go through the code at runtime(debugging). ZEND has so
far been the only stable and comfortable one I found.

Have fun,
Peter
