I've tried Eclipse with JSEclipse and PDT - one stumbling block was
getting integrated remote file access, so I'll try Target. However, I
couldn't get JSEclipse to work on my PHP pages. I haven't yet figured
out a way to get it to do js parsing in the js sections, php parsing
in the php sections, and HTML parsing in the HTML sections. Have to
switch back and forth between views, etc, as many of my pages are a
mix of all three languages.

So far I'm liking Aptana very much - if they can get intellisense
working, it'll be a winner for me.
