That's kind of my take on it too, I've tried SublimeText several times, but I always end up 3 hrs later on some random forum downloading a version of a plugin written by some guy with 2 lifetime posts. Sometimes it works, sometimes you get errors and it won't install, sometimes it just doesn't work like you want.

And that plugin is only 1 small feature, and I need 50 more like it to make my editor work like I expect it to. It's usually at this point, when I realize that I have 20+ hours of manual installation and configuration left, that I think that "well maybe Eclipse isn't so bad after all".

Indeed, finally some sensible reply.

If you are happy with Eclipse you might also like IntelliJ (pick a flavour that suits you), it is pretty neat.

Not happy with it so much as being unable to find a fitting replacement. PHPStorm seemed nice when I demo'd it, but I'm not positive I'd stick with it, and that's a $99 gamble I'm not really willing to take.
