I'm pretty new to developing with SilverStripe. At the moment I'm using Firefox / Kate for development on the new platform.

I was wondering what other people use? Has anyone used Eclipse with any success? Are there any other IDEs / environments / approaches that work well with SilverStripe?

+1  A: 

I'm using Aptana, an Eclipse based IDE.

I'd recommend searching on here for PHP IDEs for a better answer.

Try using Netbeans for PHP-development, works great for me.

+1 I tried Eclipse and Zend Studio, and then NetBeans, and i have to say it is way better (for PHP)

Just make sure that you can syntax highlight .ss files like .php and you are fine with any that let you see your whole project as you will jump to/from /mysite and /themes folders quite often.

The Silverstripe documentation recommends the PHP Development Tools PDT for Eclipse amongst others: http://doc.silverstripe.org/tools
