Net Beans is pretty impressive. I grew up Microsoft too, and I've been using Zend Studio for a while. Net Beans seems just as capable, and it feels more familiar than Eclipse even now. I think I'll try that Drupal plug in.

Kept having "buggy" issues with Eclipse, memory issues, losing features, etc...  I had to re-download PDT a couple of times, finally I just gave up.  After I saw NetBeans PHP support talked about in Site Point, I pulled the trigger.  Functionally, I think it's much and more intuitive out of the box.  If you make heavy use of task list, the task scanner can really bog Net Beans down, but you can simply close it.   As an added bonus it has great CSS support. :) 

I agree I would use VIM if I had the patience, but I grew up in the Microsoft world and switched to linux 3-4 yrs. ago so I do like me UI  :)

What pulled you to NetBeans over Eclipse?

Have you given NetBeans 6.54 a try yet? I've switched from Eclipse to it at the beginning of the month and haven't looked back.

Hey all,

I've been using Komodo for a while and while I like its built-in
support for xdebug (breakpoints, stepping, stack trace, the whole
enchilada) and code intel. But I hate it because it's a terrible
resource hog. I've been using Coda for a couple weeks, and although
it's extremely pretty, it lacks a few pretty key things, xdebug
support being the main one. I used TextMate before Komodo and am
thinking of going back, but I really would hate to live without
debugging/xdebug support. Also, I've tried Eclipse and don't like it.

Thoughts? TextMate + some magic to support xdebug maybe?
