I change IDE's more often than Jade Goody get's confused.. but the latest IDE I have stumbled across has tickled my fancy for the last couple of weeks, so thought I would pimp it..

PSPad :)

Nice selection of highlighting, which is easy to customise as well (big plus point for me) good Project organisation and interface (grouping and displaying those groups in a directory format - another big plus point for me)

FTP functionality, allowing direct saving to your site rather than save, upload etc.

'document root' settings on a per project basis.. if one of my projects is on /www/root/mysite, then I can set the project root to that and when I create new files the default save dir is that. Each project has this setting. It was the inability to 'remember' directories that made me stop using Notepad++.

Nice layout, which is also easy to customise :)

Mainly use it for PHP/XHTML, but also Java(+script) and it even does SQL syntax highlights as default :)

So what are you using this month? :D

For C++, Visual Studio Express Edition or Anjuta, mostly use VIM with syntax highlighting on though.

For Java - Eclipse or IntelliJ depending on where I am.

For asm - Don't use one hehe/IDA for disassembly though.
 
I tend to use eclipse with the php and c++ plugin, it works fine and i like it, although it seems to eat memory for some reason. To the point it makes my system with 2Gig of ram go slow

Sounds as bad as VS 2005 then.. we're getting our dev laptops upgraded to 2Gb ram so we can have more than just VS 2005 running :eek:
 
Well, you've asked for IDEs, and the only IDE I use is X Code which I use for Cocoa apps on OS X. But for anything else i use vim. It has too many features to list in a forum post, I've been using it for years and I'm still finding out cool little things it can do. :)
 
Visual Studio. Best IDE out there in my opinion, nothing comes close.

Doesn't use that much for me, only using about 50MB at the moment :confused:
 
SciTE for most stuff. VS2005 for C#. Eclipse for a couple of mammoth PHP projects.

I'd use vim, but I'm scared of becoming reliant on it and then floundering anywhere that doesn't have it :o I'm comfortable enough to use it as a primary editor, though.

It's not the actual memory footprint that seems to be the issue, it's just that everything runs real slow when using it. It's a known issue, I know a few developers who won't touch it with a barge-pole and some of the M$ bloggers are slating it for that very reason.

A service pack will be along soon to sort out all the little bugs. It is still a fantastic IDE though, I love using VS2005.
