What is the best coding editor program?

[MjM8082]

Just wondering what the best program is for coding.

 

I use Notepad++

 

What do you use ones are the best?

Well "best" is subjective. I prefer PHPEdit by WaterProof: http://www.phpedit.com/en

 

There are way too many features to list. But, my favorite is that, in addition to auto-complete for functions, once the function name is complete and you are inside the parameter list of a function - there is a hover block that shows you the function name, a description of what it does, as well as a list of the parameters. There are inconsistencies in how some functions expect their arguments and I hate having to look up the argument list.

 

Case in point: array_map() and array_walk(). These perform similar processes. But, the first two arguments are switched.

 

array array_map ( callable $callback , array $arr1 [, array $... ] )

 

 

bool array_walk ( array &$array , callable $funcname [, mixed $userdata = NULL ] )

 

maybe there is some logic to that, but I can never remember it. So, I really appreciate that feature in PHPEdit.

I like Sublime Text (http://www.sublimetext.com/). Has a good code highlight, good autocomplete, is thin and beautiful.

In my case it's Nusphere's PHPEd. Crammed with features.

Eclipse with PHP Development Tools (I'm using Linux)

Locked for both being off-topic (asking about editors has nothing to do with PHP coding help), and because we have a stickied topic about just this thing in the Miscellaneous section: http://forums.phpfreaks.com/index.php?topic=277416.0
