Eclipse PHP Development Tools.  By contrast to Aptana Studio, which is based 
on Eclipse, that PHP editor actually does something useful beyond syntax-
highlighting.  For example, it auto-completes `array' with a list of array 
functions to select from, and its Outline view shows variable declarations, 
not just includes.  And you can set *PHP* breakpoints.

Eclipse was originally only a Java IDE, of course, so you can expect the 
best support for developing with Java from its JDT plugin as well.

<http://eclipse.org/>

Aptana is good if you use its plugin to augment Eclipse, for example to 
provide PyDev and its Local Filesystem item in the Eclipse Project Explorer.
