Unrelated to the topic posted, but it looks like they have some other cool tools on their site like Ext support for the JavaScript Intellisense in Visual Studio 2008.
I’m curious as to how their Tiny Eclipse runtime performs in comparison to full Eclipse (Eclipse: “I shall eat all of your ram and cpu.”). Right now I have full Eclipse running simply to running the build/test tools that my company has = ~400mb ram just to sit in the background.
@posure: I’m using Eclipse for all of my PHP/HTML/JS work and just recently “merged” my separate Aptana Pro and Zend Studio for Eclipse installations into one based on Spket’s Tiny Eclipse.
Their distribution isn’t much smaller than the Eclipse Classic distribution, the download is just smaller as it is a jar file rather than a zipped Eclipse folder, and it only contains the necessary plugins for html/js/xml editing. So there’s no difference in performance.
I find Spket’s Javascript editor superior to Aptana’s (code formatting, for example), whereas Aptana’s HTML editor is very nice with the included preview tabs. So it’s the combination of Aptana (HTML editor), Zend (PHP editor), Spket (JAvascript) that works best for me.
