CodeLobster PHP IDE for Drupal development

I received an invite to review CodeLobster - A new, feature rich, PHP IDE on the scene with very good support for Drupal and Wordpress among other CMS and Frameworks.

As a Drupal developer, the focus of this short introduction will be Drupal integration (obviously).

Among standard CodeLobster IDE features (free version), it has some very interesting support for Drupal development (pro version), one of the things many find lacking in many IDEs is out of the box Drupal support for Auto complete, API integration etc.

Aptana Studio for Drupal development (Eclipse plugin)

For around two and half years I have been using Zend Studio 5.5 for Drupal development at work and had come to love a lot of the features it offers BUT all this functionality came at a heafty price. So, my quest for a new IDE had begun and it has been a difficult  one at that, mainly due to my somewhat unrealistic wishlist. Mostly I work directly on the remote server and wanted a solution that allowed me to SFTP over SSH and edit away my live files. Yea, many people will advise against that, but for my personal websites this isnt such a big issue as I am the BOSS..
