This is the first PHP editor I've seen that allows you to customize the syntax highlighting to such a degree. You can even assign different fonts to different elements!

Of course, the UI to do all this is not at all user friendly. It could use some work.

As an editor, though, it's great!. Does the job admirably!

I used this editor for some time - it had a few bugs, but it was fast to load.

- no tag editor
- no code formatter
- no bracket highlighting
- colour highlighting very basic

In the current market is has been left behind a bit. There are other editors much better than this one now - ie WeBuilder, PSPAD just to name a couple.

I have seen a friend use it and tried it. It's nice. But Textpad is all I need to code.

What I like most about this editor that you can directly open files from ftp (don`t have to download them and then open them like with PHP designer).
Allso I love how it has a built in browser and quick to use keys for all sorts of things (F7 syntax check, F9 go to built in browser).

But I wonder if there are any other editors that have these feature as well because I dont like the way you have endless lines (click anywhere and you start typing there, but not at the end of that line as with other text editors)
