What IDE do you use?

I like Visual Studio IntelliSense. Monodevelop has an almost identical one. Eclipse is ok but slow and glitches often.

Much better than trying to wade through MSDN.

I'll +rep to that. MSDN takes forever to load - what is it built with, crap? I like the PHP Manual. Simple HTML and the examples actually work! Is it too much to ask MS for working examples?

[Xav]

It's built with ASP.NET, of course. failz

I use expressions blend for my visual studio gui's. The visual studio xaml doesn't always work.

Visual Studio has a super GUI building interface, and the IntelliSense can come in handy.

I agree with that. The Visual Studio GUI building interface is amazing. Unlike the stupid Netbeans one which is a pain and really gets me angry. The Visual Studio editor is just so easy to use. Although Netbeans does have a really good code editor that displays the appropriate javadoc, phpdoc, or any appropriate documentation with the intellisense.

I use Netbeans 6.5 for Java, C++, PHP and almost all my development. I use Visual Studio 2008 quite a bit also. Although I really do want to try jEdit.

Just curious because I don't have much experience with it, but what about Netbeans frustrates you?

It has a tendency to do some arcane things to your GUI when you add a new control. Like resizing the form to weird sizes, moving controls around to weird places, not letting you resize the form back.

You can't see invisible controls on your form without going to the inspector. This takes time to find the item you are looking for.

Of course, now that I try to get a screenshot of some of the arcane stuff it does, it won't do what it usually does. urggggg! lol
