While I respect the prior poster's commentary as regards his/her coding habits and the 'battle' done then with PHPEdit, my opinion differs greatly.
I've used a number of programmers IDEs over the years and find the code completion efforts of PHPEdit to be in line with most. PHPEdit's feature set is amazingly customizable and, imnsho, user friendly. I use it as my primary IDE for PHP, HTML, CSS coding, though I do also use Komodo for certain tasks.
For this coder, PHPEdit is a valuable tool, well worth the commercial license fee. Their recent policy of allowing a 30 day fully functional trial makes it a sure thing if you're willing to take a bit of time to get to know the coding environment.
I know programmers that swear by their preferred IDEs, some of which I find unusable. Clearly it is a matter of preference and for me, I prefer PHPEdit.
