Of course the Eclipse platform itself is focused on Java Development.
The rest is the responsibility of the plugin vendors. Some years ago the
available PHP plugins just sucked (which was why I mainly used jEdit
until two years ago or so), but meanwhile a lot has changed.

What was the problem (just in general, no details required)? Did you run
Eclipse and PHP on the same machine and it failed to work together?

I'm working with Eclipse on a WinXP machine, but the Apache/PHP/SVN etc.
runs on a dedicated Linux server with the working copy of the source
codes being stored on a Samba share. For testing I use a separate
browser (usually Opera).
This all works very well, except for the debugger which I didn't have
had the time to install yet. And my workstation could use a little bit
more memory (it's maxed out already at 512MB), but that's the only
little problem.

OK.
