PostPosted: Sun Jul 17, 2005 4:23 pm    Post subject: Favorite IDE? Reply with quote

I'm about to begin a *huge* PHP web development project (the scale of which is beyond what I'm comfortable doing with simple text editors as I have in the past), so I'm looking for a good IDE to help me organize my code. The first recommendation I received was Bluefish, but it doesn't seem quite robust enough (I will definitely give it a shot, so more votes in its favor wouldn't hurt). The other recommendation was Eclipse, and it actually seems perfect... Except for the fact that it has a Java backend (I'd like to avoid Java if at all humanly possible... I hate the added overhead). What IDEs do you guys use, and before I shy away from Eclipse, would you say it's as bulky as I'm imagining it to be? I'm a speed freak and whole-heartedly opposed to bloated software, so the best compromise between efficiency and robustness (if that's even a word) would be ideal. Thanks in advance guys.

Eclipse is well supported, has a very large usage and plug-in developers base. Yes, it's Java, but performance seems very reasonable to me. Of course it depends on your hardware (CPU and memory at most).

Well, here are my system specs... Tell me what you think I should expect.

  • Pentium 4 3.0GHz HT (800 MHz bus)
  • Intel D875PBZ mobo (i875P based)
  • 1024 MB PC3200 DDR RAM (2x 512, dual channel)
  • 2x Western Digital Raptor 74 GB drives (non-RAID, 2nd drive mounted at /home and /opt)
  • BFG GeForce 6800 Ultra OC AGP
  • 23" Apple HD Cinema Display (1920x1200 res)

Think I'd notice a considerable slowdown due to its Java base? I've never screwed around with Java on Linux, so in terms of the runtime environment, how much more streamlined/efficient is it that Windows-based VMs and JREs?

I think you'll have no problem at all. If you're interested you may take a look at some benchmark

There are many more.

We had to do a dvd-webshop in php for school. I was also checking out different editors.

In the end i sticked to bluefish. Imho it's pretty good. I dunno what you mean by robust but I didn't have one crash if you mean that.

It's pretty cool looking, but I loathe KDE... So I'm probably going to pass on it. Thanks for the tip though.

And ph03n1x - by robust I mean capable of code organization, function trees, and possibly even a local processing/previewing function... In all honesty, Eclipse is looking like my best option. Maybe I just have really bad memories from the last Java-based IDE I used (but it was Forte4Java on a P3 1.0 GHz with 128 megs of RAM on Win2k...).

I may understand your doubts, then. You've been lucky just to make it start... :D

For previewing use apache :)

No kidding. That crap made baby Jesus cry. It got to the point where trying to do programming assignments (IN JAVA, nonetheless) was so aggravating that I worked out a deal with my teacher to let me build the school a bunch of DV stations. After a week of spending the school's money and screwing around with Premiere, I had a 1.5-semester-long vacation. I do *not* get along well with Java. C, C++, Perl, PHP, all gravy. Just keep Java the hell away from me.

ph03n1x - Yeah, that's one thing I noticed from screenshots... Bluefish seems like it's a great editor for single-file apps, however, what I'm preparing to do is going to be a beast of a web app... So I'm not sure I want to lump it all into one big-ass file :) . And yeah, yeah... I will be doing previewing with Apache as well, but I'd like to have immediate execution available for testing relatively simple scripts.

Moved from Portage & Programming to Duplicate Threads. See https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-339602.html and post there if necessary.
