After using it for 20 seconds, this is the best IDE ever

Using Notepad doesn't make you a coding ninja, it cuts off your hands, lobotomizes you, and cuts off other unmentionables.

Doesn't matter what you use really, it's just what my preference is, everyone has their own opinion on things, and i've always been using notepad to do scripting, i see no reason to change now

Notepad doesn't:
1. Indent automatically
2. Apply syntax coding
3. Show line numbers
4. Use 4-space tabs

All of the above are unacceptable. If you had said practically any other IDE, I would have agreed with you that it's your preference and that whatever you want to use is fine, but Notepad is a total, putrid, piece of crap for anything except taking...simple text notes.

I aways go back to ultra edit it seems for php, but I keep an open mind. I used an IDE on Linux coding C for a while, that taught me better style and coding. I'll try this too. The price alone makes it worth a look. Besides, my copy of UE is no longer upgradable, so before I lay out more bucks...

hey filburt1 if you have used BBEdit what is your thoughts on it?

I used BBEdit on OS X a long time ago. It was alright but last time I used it, it wasn't PHP-specific so it lacked a lot of stuff.
