I used PHPEclipse for 1.5 years but 3 months ago i tested PDT and i'll
stay at PDT.

The main reason why i switched to PDT is that PDT feels a little bit
more stable and smoother. Abother reason are the better debugging with
the Zend Debugger, much better smart help, better outline and a outline
for your complete project showing all your constants, function and
classes of your project.

Missing features are the local highlight if you mark a variable of the
current page, some warnings like "variable may not initialized" and the
smarty template engine support.
