Honestly, the issue is complicate. Good IDEs tend to be complicate, slow
and have extremely poor text editors. Simple editors tend to lack basic
features such as the ability to highlight embedded languages. And
complex editors tend the combine the main drawbacks of the other categories.

Some products that are worth trying include:

NetBeans IDE: it's a Java IDE, it's free, it's quite fast for its class
and offers lots of features. Its editor is rather poor.

JetBrains PhpStorm: another Java IDE. It's commercial software. It's
possibly faster and easier than Eclipse.

ActiveState Komodo: it's a multiplatform app written on top of Mozilla's
XUL platform. It's slow in slow computers, quite fast in fast computers.
The "Edit" edition is free but lacks most sexy features.

RapidPHP: it's a Windows app. It's very fast yet it offers many advanced
features. It's commercial but it's cheap.

Codelobster PHP Edition: it's a Windows app. It's commercial software:
you can use it for free but they charge for the plugins (there're
plugins for jQuery, Drupal, CodeIgniter...).

DEV-PHP2: it runs on Windows (not sure about other OSes) and it's open
source.
