Re: PHP IDE

I agree with Zeev... the fact that some people don't like IDEs doesn't mean they are useless... I would take an extensible editor (i.e. emacs or to a certain level UltraEdit) over a poor IDE anytime... but that's because I know how to extend the editor to fit my tastes and needs... But most users have absolutely no clue on how to define syntax coloring in UltraEdit, and they can benefit a lot from the special functions in an IDE... as poor as it might be. That said, nothing can beat an IDE that doesn't suck... Specially if you can extend it, or at least configure its settings. You don't like autocomplete? turn it off... some people find it useful. You consider syntax coloring "eye candy"? turn it off... I love to be able to see when a string is not closed because all my lines are colored as a string... And I love to be able to diferentiate variable names by something else than a $ at the beggining. Code folding confuses you? Don't fold your code. Function and variable lists waste your time? Don't open those windows... Are you turning off all the options and closing all additional windows? then do "rm -rf phpide" (I supose you are in unix) and stick to "vi" Regards, Sebastian -- Sebastian Delmont - sdelmont@loquesea.com CTO / CGO Loquesea.com Inc.
