Hello.
It is an excuse for my bad English.
Use a dictionary to write in the forum:)

Up a small project that I use primarily as an aid for development projects of my PHP.
These small tool for visual programming of PHP, the basis for serving QCubed.

My problem is that I can not choose the instrument with which to build its program.
Waver between Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 and Java.
I work in an environment of Windows and prefer the speed of Microsoft Visual Studio 2008. On the other hand, enables Java to work on different platforms.

My question is, what development environment you recommend as potential users of such software.

Thanks in advance for your time seized.

Thank's akrohn.

I guess that netbeans offer means that you prefer to work with multiplatform program written in java.

Netbeans is a great free IDE for developing PHP applications.

How's the performance of Netbeans? Last time I tried it (4 years ago...) it was soooo painfully slow.

I use phpDesigner and its fast enuff,
I find Java stuff overly complex in general and prone to bloat :-)

I see that I am totally confused you with my horrible English. :)
Not about the choice of IDE to work with PHP. This I made for myself. I use AptanaStudio.
I Develop software that is a visual (wysiwyg) IDE for programming PHP.
My question was to choose between:
1. A slow program, but working on many OS platforms (Linux, Windows ... eg developed in java).
2. Fast program, but working on specific OS. (Windows - eg developed in Microsoft Visual Studio 2008)

Thanks for your patience.

Don't know how it was 4 years ago, but on a moderate PC it's fast enough. But I have no experience with other PHP IDEs than Zend Studio and for me, netbeans beats it.
I like the clean usability, getter/setter generation and code completion. For more you can take a look at http://www.netbeans.org/features/php/ and http://blogs.sun.com/netbeansphp/.

I would prefer a fast program for Windows as thats my day to day environment

I like Unix but as a server not a development platform.

I develop (and probalby will in future) on linux operating systems and definetly prefer Software that runs native on linux. But as there is quite a lot of software that runs on windows systems only, i have some (several ;) ) kind of emulation systems at hand to run these systems too.

If it's going to become commercial, it has to be genious to be used by me, if it requires me to fire up one of my virtuals.

My personal recommendation is NetBeans 6.7 + the jVi plugins for NetBeans. NetBeans has come a long way since the 5.5 days and is now a really useful, fast, stable IDE. It trumps eclipse in most places thanks to its lack of bloat, although the sparser plugin pool is sometimes an issue. Mostly, however, it's just better. The best thing about NetBeans is that the developers actually listen to their users. I've filed plenty of functionality requests on the NetBeans issue tracker and almost all of them have been filled (In fact, the @property support in NetBeans is there because I asked for it :-)

@fcool: What IDE do you use for coding?

I'm personally using latest Geany at the moment, I've tried bluefish but I didn't like it that much...
