Do you use Zend Studio on a Mac? Do you use it with MAMP or Zend Server CE? Can you share your experience? How hard/easy was it to configure for either server? Has it helped your development productivity much, say, over Eclipse+PDT (which is free)?
Basically, I'm trying to decide if it's worth buying Zend Studio. And, since I'm on a Mac, how hard it is to configure for use with MAMP.
I was using MAMP + Zend Studio for 2 years. Then switched to Zend Studio + Zend Server CE. I see no gain in using zend server ce. Right now I've left Zend Studio to a better ide: PhpStorm. Give it a try. I's full featured and not as heavy as zend studio.
