I work in a very large PHP codebase from a Windows box, and I'm looking for an editor with good code browsing capabilities, and one which will scale to a large codebase.
I've started using Eclipse PDT for a couple days, and while I like the feature set for the most part, I've found it to be unreliable. It randomly hangs for long periods of time, takes forever to index, runs out of memory or randomly sends error messages very often, and has some annoying behavior as files in the project change.
I welcome two types of answers
1) What is a good scalable PHP IDE? Bonus points if it's a VS plugin, but I'm willing to learn anything. More Bonus points if it has JavaScript support. Non-free is okay.
2) If anyone else has gone through growing pains with Eclipse, what advice can you give, or what settings can be tweaked to make it more reliable?
Update I determined the source of the Eclipse hangs was an issue at the networking level, which I've fixed. So I'm going to take another crack at this. Thanks for all the advice, I'm sure it will come in handy.
