This IDE provides you with the ability to create and manage all of the code that makes up your website or web-based software in one environment. As a rookie web developer, the software I use plays a major part in how long it takes me to do anything web-related. This means that even when I find something that works for me, I am reluctant to migrate my work habits to new software just because it's new and shiny!

At the recommendation of a friend, he tried out PHP Designer and liked what he saw. The interface is clean and professional without being overly cluttered, comes with several useful features - like Tidy and Text Highlighting - and several more. You can find out more about the software on his page on the MPSoftware website.
