IDE's for developing with Symfony2

[cammanderson]

Hi Guys,

What IDE/editor is everyone using after having a play around with
Symfony2/PHP5.3? We have been using PHPStorm a lot (which is a
commercial product) for the last 5-6 months and it has been really
great. I was reading an article the other night that was shared about
the State of Symfony2 support in IDEs (http://www.symfony-zone.com/
wordpress/2011/11/04/the-state-of-symfony2-support-in-ides/) and for
the second time I have heard about some really neat features for
Eclipse (like annotations support for instance). Has anyone given
Symfony2 a go in another IDE? How did they find it? Have you got
xdebug etc setup? Found it easy?

Speak soon
Cheers
Cam

Hey Cam,

I've been using PHPstorm, however I'd love to find something with annotation support.

This page (http://www.symfony-zone.com/wordpress/2011/11/07/how-to-build-a-great-eclipse-environment-for-symfony2-development/) makes Eclipse look very promising. A bit reluctant to go back to the slow Eclipse days though!

I've been using http://www.sublimetext.com/2 once you install a few plugins it works pretty well. Probably not be as good as a commercial product though.
