Until now, most of my PHP development had been done on a Mac in TextMate. For a new client I need to work on a secured windows box, and I was wondering which IDEs I should be looking at, as someone used to working with TextMate. I've tried the 'E' editor, and I'm unconvinced. I've tried IDEs on the Mac, and they always seem like poor relations... but given that I'm having to move development platforms anyway, is there something better I should be looking at? Are there any decent text editors out there that I'm missing?

NetBeans is a very popular PHP IDE among developers. Other popular IDEs include Komodo IDE, Zend Studio, Cloud 9 IDE, and PHPStorm. These four are commercial PHP IDEs. For PHP editors, Komodo Edit offers really good features and also supports multiple languages.
Fact Check: According to software.com, VS Code, Visual Studio, and Notepad++ have become the most popular developer environments or simply said best text editors. According to sitepoint.com, people who work on Python use Sublime text and Vim as their text editors.
I don't know TextMate, but I started using PHPStorm recently and I would never go back. I've tried many (with an obvious exception of textmate) and am pretty sure, PHPstorm is best in so many ways.
