<font color="#3333ff"><font face="verdana,sans-serif">From what I have researched on the internet (since I am not a programmer and needed to do a lot of PHP programming), developers tend to like Eclipse than Netbeans as there are more plugins available readily for Eclipse than Netbeans.<br>
<br>As to Randy's Question: I use Zend Studio and it fairly simple and seems to offer help if one is coding a complex code with many classes and functions. It is much better than Eclipse and Netbeans.<br><br>-GGR<br clear="all">

</div>Not a direct answer to your question, but a suggestion nonetheless.<br>
Since Oracle began nomming all things Sun/Java I started looking for an<br>
IDE that doesn't rely on such proprietary technologies. I found (the<br>
open source) Code::Blocks - <a href="http://www.codeblocks.org" target="_blank">http://www.codeblocks.org</a> - and really love<br>
it so far.<br>
<br>
It even makes C++/Qt4 easy :-)<br>
<br>
I used Eclipse only minimally, with NetBeans being my IDE of choice (for<br>
Java, PHP and C/C++). I just need to find a decent PHP IDE now!<br>
