Splendid write-up. Coda 2 is pretty darned good from what I’ve seen so far. In the day job I’m doing all my PHP in Sublime Text 2 (another nice editor, cross-platform too!) against a linux app server running in VirtualBox. That’s quite nice too, as you can map your source directory on the host machine as the deployed app directory in the VM.
Despite using the Zend framework a lot, can’t say I’ve ever tried Zend Studio. Is it based on Eclipse? If so, I’d be inclined to leave it and use one of these lighter editors. And who needs extensive autocomplete anyway? That’s what var_dump is for :-D
