Considering that I found at least three new development tools that I've installed and am running through -- all in hopes of greatly improving my current Drupal-centric workload -- hopefully adds one vote to the Relevancy Rating of this thread. I think it's important to remember that lists like this represent a collective community working together on a sort of "meta project". ... I say "bah!" to the off-topic issue in general, but definitely to this thread being offensive to the list. Paul Domenic Santangelo wrote:
killes,
OP here. I realize the importance of keeping the list clean and on-topic and am glad to see your input. Another perspective for you though, I asked the question as my programming time is 95% Drupal and I've been hopping from IDE to IDE in search of something useful *specifically* for Drupal-centric programming. Drupal-awareness inside the IDE (whether through a combination of tools or one awesome IDE) is an important criteria in this regard.
Consequently, I must respectfully disagree with your assertion that we are all off-topic. Many technologies that we use -- PHP itself, for example -- are not by definition Drupal, but can be (and for the purposes of this list, should be) framed in the context of Drupal.
