I am looking for some advice. I have always just used the crimson text editor for php, but I have wondered if I should switch to the Zend IDE? How useful have you found it to be?

I just went to the site and saw the price.. wow it is a pretty penny. I noticed a reference to eclipse on a bullitin board, the site says it is an open source IDE that supports Java and Php? have you had any experience with eclipse and is it comparable to the Zend IDE?

Yep.. eclipse with php plugins is good too, but not as good as zend(obviously!). Its a decent IDE with features like code blocks, matching braces, php syntax help, etc. and moreover, its FREE ! :)
