In the meantime, we have introduced PhpStorm (after using Zend Studio, Aptana, Netbeans and Eclipse) and our whole team agrees that it is by far the best IDE we have ever worked with. There is no qustion, PhpStorm is taking the world of PHP by storm.
Contrary to Eclipse based IDEs, PhpStorm is fast, development is fast and supports the new important trends quickly. It already supports things like Phing, SASS, PHP CodeSniffer, Github, etc. out of the box.
Old answer:
I can’t give you a very fact based long analysis but I’d say PHPDesigner gets nowhere near PHPStorm. Even the PHPDesigner website looks a bit fishy to me. A page full of meaningless/fake awards. The first two persons under testimonials mention ‘Dreamweaver’ as an IDE 🙂 and the software seems to be developed by only one person. Support for version control is minimal, there is no phpunit integration, etc. phpStorm has all this and doesn’t boast with awards and testimonials but has a team behind the development. Should be clear!
