I switched from VI to Zend IDE for PHP and felt like I went from the dark ages to enlightenment in one go. Cant believe how much time I lost not using something like this. Its not that it does things for me, but the embedded function definitions alone mean less time looking up syntax, and I finally got used to auto-completion (it did take a while though) and now find it really neat that I can type only the beginning of a variable and it will complete for me. The less keystrokes, the better chance I have of being able to use my hand and fingers when I hit 60 ! :) and being able to jump from one program to another as I drill down functions and libraries is a godsend .
