I'll be using it and one other new one I found - on the zend.org site, for web page development. That one is big and has a ton of stuff I don't need but so far it is working well for everything I need for php/html stuff. I'll have both on my system now, and remove the others. I certainly didn't intend for this to end up in a 'this is the best editor' war.
