    OK, it *looks* nice, but when will people learn that some of us need breakpoints and stack tracing to get anywhere with the huge ammounts of code we need to deal with, if I wanted a glorified text editor I'd use wordpad.

    What the world really needs is something to replace Zend Studio that isn't written in Java.

    I am very impressed by this. I have been refusing to leave the old Arachnopholia, but this may do the trick. I like how it works other types of files as well like html etc...

    The app looks promising for the future,
    it has a clean interface and uses little resources.

    But there's no real debugger implementation, just a basic preview in a browser window....

    Until a debugger implementation i have to stick to PHPEdit.

    This is a great PHP editor. The only thing I would like to see is smarter tabbing. That's one thing I like more about Zend. Other than that ONE thing, this editor kicks Zends ass.
