A PHP IDE for me

At work I recently completed a search for a PHP Integrated Development Environment. I evaluated:

• Zend IDE
• Maguma Open Studio
• Maguma Workbench
• Maguma Studio
• WaterProof PHPEdit
• Eclipse
• Dev-PHP
• NuSphere PhpEd
• VS.PHP (Visual Studio plug-in)

In the end it came down to Zend, VS.PHP and NuSphere. NuSphere won.

NuSphere has a great editor, a fast UI, active development, an active forum, quick support turnaround, almost perfect code completion, easy project management, and a lot of little things done right. Not surprisingly, it was the most expensive of that list where some were even free. But in the world of development tools I think it's an OK price, and when you're a full time developer you don't skimp on the tool you use every day.

Most of my work is still on the actual RPM application which is C# in Visual Studio 2003.
