I'm not looking for a "religious discussion" here, but I want to know the Pros and Cons of both development environments. I'm on the Mac, btw.
A: Eclipse for PHP works really great with CodeIgniter. Netbeans is another good IDE, and Sublime is a good code editor for CodeIgniter.
If you like modularity and fine-tuned control over your IDE, Eclipse is the better option. If you hate having to install plugins every time you need another tool, NetBeans is the way to go.
Check Smashing Magazine's Big PHP IDE Test.
An IDE is supposed to ease development and support you in your workflows. Thus, the easiest way to find the right one, is to try and see for yourself, which one best suits your needs.
I would go with netbeans. using it for a year for large project and everything i need is in front of me.
My vote goes to NetBeans.
