* Word wrap. If you are working on the text with long lines, word wrap feature becomes extremely useful. You will not need to scroll far any more - since all long lines will be wrapped to fit the size of editing area.
* Code Templates - speed up the development process and help maintain consistency throughout your websites.
Why I like it: I originally purchased this because it allows me to change the text size for my mature eyes. Also, as beginner, the syntax parsing and highlighting was a great tool for catching those little errors that can wreak havoc on everything. A neat little feature that I actually use a lot, surprisingly, is that when you have a color code typed in, if you forget what the color is, placing the cursor anywhere in the color code shows the color in a little box on the toolbar.

I’d recommend NetBeans 6.5 with PHP support.
It’s free and support a has intellisense.
PhpStorm
Cost: 89 €, (44€ until Jan 10th. Free 45 day trial.).
Platform: Linux, Mac, Windows
Languages: PHP , CSS, HTML, JavaScript, SQL, XML. Albeit as the name suggests this program is developed with PHP in mind, it also supports other languages, such as ASP, to different degrees with language plugins. The program also has support for JavaScript frameworks such as jQuery.
Looking to try an IDE I found PhpStorm had all the functionality I was after in such a program, and it is quite well made. It is written in Java, and at least the preview build of version 2 was somewhat slow for me (they have an ‘early access preview program’). I will definitely explore this editor more though, and when I purchase a new computer it has reserved the place as my first choice IDE.
I recommend PhpStorm for those looking for an IDE. For beginners and those looking for a straightforward and fast editor I recommend Notepad++, which needs no introduction.
P.S. PhpStorm is based on the same developer’s IDEA, with a particular focus on web development. If one has IDEA with the PHP plugin, one already has almost all the features of PhpStorm.
Notepad++ is the best choice for Windiws

Worth mentioning another update re BBEdit. You can now buy it for just $49 through their site, or the app store if you run lion. The app store version does have a couple of limitations though, weirdly.
persoanlly I like Notepad++ and it’s free
Wow, there are a lot of text editors I’d never heard about. I’ve generally stuck to using NotePad/NotePad++ and the editors within the software I’m coding for. This is very useful
