Hmmm, perhaps I just do not use the features that it is lacking because I have 
been enjoying trustudio.  I admit that I use it more because it is on my work 
computer.  I will have to use the phpeclipse version and get a better opinion.

I was reading about that.  Seems to be a bit of controversy around Zend's 
participation.  I agree that we will probably see some pretty good stuff come 
out to their plug-in.  Hopefully is stays open source and free. Makes you 
wonder though when the competitor starts chipping in.
