For what it's worth, I agree. I work with php at home and run it on a
server with no graphical interface installed. For all of my work there,
I ssh to the server and use vi to edit the files.

At the office, we plan to use Zend Studio (it provides some
functionality we like) and Zend Platform (for monitoring the server),
but we will definitely ensure that any apps would run on a server with
just php (to avoid lock-in).

Thanks for your input!
