Which IDE has syntax highlighting, code outline for several languages, collapsible code and FTP remote editing for web development?

Question

I am in dire need of an IDE I'm comfortable with. The closest to perfect I've come in IDEs, and the one I'm currently using, is Aptana Web - which has everything I'd ever want from an IDE except perhaps the most important feature: collapsible code.

The features I need in my editor is:

• Syntax highlighting for HTML, CSS, Javascript and PHP files
• A code outline, to make sense of 5000 line php or JS files
• The ability to select and collapse lines of code, like in Dreamweaver
• The ability to open and work with files directly on an ftp server

IDEs I've tested and liked:

• Aptana Studio - has everything but the collapsible code
• Crimson Editor - less tidy than Aptana studio in general, and lacks collapsible code

IDEs I've tested and not liked:

• Dreamweaver - Has lots of features, but forces me to create "sites" and "test servers" and lots of crap i don't need instead of letting me simply open and edit a file from a server.
• Visual studio - lacks syntax highlighting for Javascript or PHP (i can't recall which)
• Notepad++ - A lot like Crimson Editor, but lacks remote file editing.

If someone would be so nice as to introduce me to a few IDEs I've not heard of before, I'll mark them as the correct answer if i find my favorite among them.

Thanks for any and all suggestions

Answer 1

EMACS, of course.

Answer 2

Eclipse http://www.eclipse.org/

Answer 3

Notepad++ has add-ons you know http://sourceforge.net/projects/npp-plugins/files/FTP_synchronize/

Answer 4

Personally, I love Komodo Edit (http://www.activestate.com/komodo-edit), which is the free part of Komodo IDE (http://www.activestate.com/komodo-ide). I've used both, and I've replaced all my other editors since it works so well.

Works great; remotely edit files, change color schemes, open recent files, create 'projects', runs in Windows/Mac/Linux. Syntax highlighting for tons of languages, auto-indents your code, code completion, tooltips that explain the built-in functions for tons of languages.

It does everything you could want in an IDE, and even the free, open-source Komodo Edit does pretty much everything requirement you listed, except I'm not sure about the outline feature. Everything else you listed comes in the free version.

Answer 5

VIM, of course.

Answer 7

Been using UltraEdit for years. Not sure if the curent version does code folding. But it has support for highlighting virtually any language, and can load/save over ftp or sftp, which is really nice. There's also an IDE edition that has extended features like integrated debugging.

Answer 8

Zeus does generic code folding, browsing and syntax highlighting and it also supports seamless ftp/sftp editing.
