PhpDesigner - works fine with PHP and other web dev tasks.

Is it activation based?  i.e. do you have to activate it over the internet?

One suggestions I saw elsewhere was to try one of the JetBrains solutions: http://www.jetbrains.com/index.html

Either WebStorm or PhpStorm. They were recommended as faster alternatives to the more popular IDEs. None of the JetBrains stuff is free but they do seem quite nice.

Does anyone know what the difference in features is in WebStorm vs PhPStorm?  I couldn't readily tell from the site.

From the PhpStorm page:
Note: PhpStorm includes all the functionality of WebStorm (HTML/CSS Editor, JavaScript Editor) and adds full-fledged support for PHP.

One product I want to try out is Xara's Web Designer 7. It's one of those visual template driven page creators. I wouldn't want to use it for everything. But there are some projects I've worked on where I could see it being very useful. (At least if it works half as well as Xara claims it does. )

Has anyone tested this?
Looks like it'd produce pretty horrible html and css. But so does dreamweaver, right?

I have tried this but haven't produced any website with it yet. The HTML/CSS is pretty grim but Xara is very fast to work with and the pages seem to load recently fast in a browser. Nice to have real text flow around any shaped object (and it works blazingly fast) but the HTML is pretty dense!
