I was just wondering what editor you use to write your cakephp apps, and thought it would be cool to share some thoughts about this on the list.
I'm personnaly using SciteFlash for all PHP, HTML, js, and actionscript editing so far. it's based on scintilla. The reason why I'm asking is that I'm beginning to get bored with it. it's quite cool for single script editing, but for bigger projects, including cakephp apps, it's not very convenient: for exemple the editor has tabs for multiple file editing, but the tabs only show the filename, which is really annoying when editing views that have the same name from several controllers (say "/users/edit.thtml" and "/articles/edit.thtml"). moreover this editor is too small to have a file browser inside, which is annoying regarding the structure of cakephp apps. I suppose I could change some config stuff to make it more convenient, but I'm thinking more of finding some other IDE which would better handle cakephp.
do you use some kind of IDE (like custom Eclipse setups or so to build and manage your cakephp projects) ? do you have tips or advices about this (like perhaps integrating bake.php to a custom IDE, or something like that...) ?
im using Notepad++ (on scintilla) on windows to 'just edit a typo', or Eclipse when i'm working (on windows too.) My old PowerMac has only 256mb ram and Textmate work bad, so i use BBEdit 8, i'm looking for good editor for OSX
I'm using Kate and Quanta (which is built on Kate) on Kubuntu. They're fine as editors but I am considering switching to somethng better. The problem is, I can't find anything (free) which has a feature whch would make life easier. If there was something which had MVC in mind I'd definitely take a look at that. Kate and Quanta are nicely light-weight.

I still use the retro-style wily because being able to right-click links between files and search outputs, middle-click executables and mouse-button-chord cut-and-paste is just too damn addictive.

Take a look at their characteristics. It's the best i already used.

I used to use and be very happy with Eclipe and the Trustudio eclipe plugin, but nowdays I use ActiveState's Komodo. It's a commercial editor but it's really good if you've got the cash.
I have been using just VIM for a while now. I usually have 3-4 terminals open with VIM sessions running. I have my .vimrc file setup so formatting happens the way I need it to.
I use ditto to keep track of handy copy/pastes.
My main OS is Windows XP, but I use putty to SSH into either my linux test server or to my hosting service.
I have tried out other IDE's but usually end up going back to my VIM setup.
I have not tried Eclipse or Komodo, but have been thinking about it.
I would like to see something really geared toward CakePHP.
But if you are just looking for a good editor VIM works great for me.

I've been using PHPEdit for years and I'm quite fond of it. Lately I've been evaluating EasyEclipse for PHP. it has a nice set of features/packages that go well with ANY php job. It comes with PHPEclipse, SVN, Debug, Database and some more that I don't quite remember, so get at http://www.easyeclipse.org and choose your distribution. Dists for all major OS's: Windows, Linux, OS X
I miss some of the editor features from PHPEdit but can quite live without them. Syntax completion is very good since it parses all the files on your workspace, including cake/libs if it's under there.

I've been using EditPlus for my editting on Windows. It's a pretty lightweight editor that is extremely customizable and extensible. My favorite feature it has is Find In Files, which is my grep replacement for Windows. I'm always looking for something comprable to it in Linux...
An usual reply to that kind of question is : the best tool is the one you best know. In my case, Eclipse (and his embedded CVS client) + PHPEclipse + Subclipse (SVN client) if necessary + JSEclipse for javascript files is a perfect dev environnement. It's really worth spending a few hours on understanding the main Eclipse concepts.
To Clemos : The Eclipse solution to your multi-tab editing and identical filenames ? Just mouseover your cursor on tabs and you get the full path of your files. More than that : you need more room to edit a given file ? Just double-click on the corresponding tag and you get your file full-screen sized. Double-click again to go back to the previous size. Such trivial features make the coder's life much more easier.
If I had the experience at setting something like that up I would. I was merely saying it be nice. I have no probs using eclipse with phpeclipse plugin.
to all: It is interesting to see who is using which editor. I will have to look into some of the other plugins for eclipse that have been mentioned.
I know of someone that is using RadRails which is nothing more than eclipse with a few ruby plugins. He seems to like it and it does what he needs. He is only using it for editing of files.
I commented on how this would be nice to have for cake but I do not have the skills to implement a cake specific environment on eclipse.
