Nerds who love the symfony-project
7 Jan
I agree with this: Netbeans is a good IDE for Symfony development. I think this is especially true if you, like me, also develop with JVM languages. This last year I was doing some Java/Swing and Groovy projects, so I started using NetBeans again. It has a plugin for doing Symfony work - very handy.
(Off topic, the more I work with Groovy, the more I think this is the perfect language for PHP developers who want to learn a JVM language.)

in Ubuntu NetBeans have not antialiased fonts (Sun JDK). it’s so terrible for me

Sergey, thanks for writing. I’ve only ever used NetBeans on Ubuntu so I guess I do not know what I’m missing.
How would you compare it with the Zend Studio for Eclipse 6/7.x IDE ? I’ve been using that for some time now and am generally satisfied with it.
I had read in Dec. about a new symfony plugin for netbeans and have been interested in giving it a whirl…
Another interesting topic around NetBeans is will it survive after Oracle acquired it. (with the Sun deal)
An except from an infoq article says:
“Oracle’s statement about NetBeans is unclear and doesn’t guarantee that the company will continue to invest in this IDE:”

@Greg - I haven’t used Zend Studio so I can not comment. Next time we meet, it would be interesting to compare them side by side.
@Travis De Silva - that is an important issue. That is probably the strongest argument for Eclipse - its destiny is less linked to any one particular supporter.
