I do have to say that NetBeans more than Eclipse will randomly become unusable for unknown reasons: disk and CPU activity spike, code-completion lags, whatever. Eclipse seems more solid in this regard.

     Whereas, on Linux, I've found the exact opposite to be true:

NetBeans seemed to work fine, while Eclipse would lock.

     That said, I only use IDE's when I want to see what's new in the

world, or to see if I could speed up my own development processes at all. Somehow, I always find myself back to vim, awk, sed, grep, and the like. With the exception of a few websites (Gmail usually, but not always, included), I spend my time on the command line, and have for years. GUI's, IDE's, RAD's, and so forth all have their place with some folks.... I just don't believe the place is with me. However, if for nothing else than to stay abreast of things, I'm going to have to check out PHPStorm. Until you mentioned it, I'd never even heard the name.

I'm with you on that. I'm still using a combination of terminals, joe, and various command-line tools. Whether I'm local or remote, all of the same tools are at my fingertips. In the few cases where I need to work in a Windows environment, I just mount the filesystem (for dev anyways) over NFS and proceed as usual :) Cheers, Rob. -- E-Mail Disclaimer: Information contained in this message and any attached documents is considered confidential and legally protected.
