Does anyone have a recommendation for a PHP development environment?

I've been using Eclipse for Java development, so I'm going to look at the PDT Eclipse plugin. I was wondering what experience people have had with this, or other PHP dev tools.

There is a 2006 comparison of PHP IDEs available at http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/library/os-php-ide/index.html

I used an evaluation copy of Komodo for a few weeks once. I was OK. It seemed simpiler than Eclipse, but now that I more familar with Eclipse I would tend to use Eclipse instead of paying for another tool.

The Zend IDE has a number of favorable reviews, but once again it costs money.

Since you are already familar with Eclipse it seems like that would have the smallest learning curve. If you run into problems with it, please do report back.
