I highly recommend you stay away from ANY IDE written in Java, if you desire productivity and responsiveness at all.

I've been developing in PHP for 10 years, and I've used every IDE there is. Zend Studio is absolutely #1 in every functional area except performance, and that is because of Java. You don't want to be held back by your IDE.

-1 for IDE written in Java comment... IntelliJ and Eclipse are both very good IDEs, not to mention all the other IDEs based on those platforms.

@Jason - I guess I should -1 any of your opinions in the future. You see that this is tagged subjective, and it is soliciting opinions, right? Eclipse is such a hog, I'd rather use a pencil.

This kind of question should always be CW - then downvotes don't hurt anymore.

@Fosco: I would hope that you would -1 my opinions as well, if you don't agree with them. Isn't that what the voting system is for? To either show you agree or disagree with someones answer?

I prefer to down vote answers that are wrong, unclear, or nonsense.

I have been quite happy with Netbeans. It has all the features that I need, works fast and as a bonus there is support for symfony framework in the latest releases
