But honestly I can't choose between Aptana and "Eclipse for PHP". They both have quirks and features the other doesn't have. If they somehow collaborated and merged the two projects...wow. Wishful thinking I guess. I finally made the move from Dreamweaver to Eclipse. But honestly I can’t choose between Aptana and “Eclipse for PHP”.

It makes working with JS libraries like jQuery & YUI a joy. Code assist for jQuery? I will deal with a few inconveniences for something like that... for free. But then again I am a freetard and I am use to putting up with software quirks. Linux anyone? I always thought that this is what Homesite or CF studio would be like if they kept on developing it. I miss my old friends. Sob. Personally I love Aptana. It makes working with JS libraries like jQuery & YUI a joy. Code assist for jQuery?

Preferences -> Aptana -> My Aptana / Message Center -> Never Display After Startup. I've found that after doing this, that Aptana startup page doesn't load and my Eclipse startup isn't slowed down (although I can't confirm if anything isn't happening in the background). @todd

Not sure if I'm doing something wrong or what... I should try it out again...
