I would have thought that the templating system/framework were
completely seperate from the IDE you use. I suppose a framework could
have debug built-in - which would then affect your your choice of IDE
or vice versa but AFAIK none do.

Most PHP frameworks tend to provide a full range of functionality
(authentication, access, ORM, DB abstraction, and templating) so it
rather depends on the framework you use. Actually most PHP frameworks
are really just libraries so even where if your framework of choice
does have a templating system this may not preclude use of a different
one.

erk. It rather depends how apposite the framework is to your
application and development methodology. I'd recommend looking at
PHPPeanuts (automates development but can be tricky to customize)
Prado (XML based meta language system)
Seagull (library type system with sensible functionality)
Zend (likely to be favoured in commercial web 2.0 type apps)
Blueshoes (lots of javascript eye candy)
CakePHP (very OO)
Horde (PEAR based)

....although you've asked about frameworks, I've got to plug PfP Studio
here - its a toolkit for developing forms.
In some circumstances it may be more appropriate to base your
developing around a CMS - in which case do check out Joomla and
TikiWiki
