emacs Description |
To quote the Emacs Manual:
Emacs is the extensible, customizable, self-documenting real-time
display editor.
If this seems to be a bit of a mouthful, an easier explanation is Emacs is
a text editor and more. At its core is an interpreter for Emacs Lisp
(``elisp'', for short), a dialect of the Lisp
programming language with extensions to support text editing.
Some of the features of GNU Emacs include:
- Content sensitive major modes for a wide variety of file types,
from plain text to source code to HTML files.
- Complete online documentation, including a tutorial for new users.
- Highly extensible through the Emacs Lisp language.
- Support for many languages and their scripts, including all the
European ``Latin'' scripts, Russian, Greek, Japanese, Chinese, Korean,
Thai, Vietnamese, Lao, Ethiopian, and some Indian scripts. (Sorry,
Mayan hieroglyphs are not supported.)
- A large number of extensions which add other functionality. The
GNU Emacs distribution includes many extensions; many others are available separately--even a web browser.

Added by popular demand. Usually we only list Editors/IDE which where specifically build with PHP in mind. But this one seems to have a large following and many people stand by it.
After installing in on a windows xp system I see it is very fast and jam packed with features. I can see why it has a large following.
Word of warning - when I installed the barebin version, it seemed to be missing some files. So I got the fullbin version and that sorted any problems.
