Loving the new beta...cant wait til its fully done... Here are a few key features that are lacking. I use Netbeans for PHP/HTML/CSS/JS primarily...

1. Multiple file/folder search AND replace...please! This is one major benefit Aptana has over you at the moment...
2. Smart handling of line ending conversion with option on which to use (windows, unix, mac)
3. Some way to refresh a folders contents (when I add/move files outside of netbeans there's no way other than a restart)
4. Ability to exclude folders in a project from the site build (so I dont always have to choose the source file for a parent class when there are some leftover in temp folders or have to trudge through other libraryies @todo!)
5. PHPDoc auto comment to add @throws automagically
6. PHPDoc, Ability to set a default "type" for @param's
7. A decent colour picker for CSS colours
8. Per-project "Favourites". This feature
9. Equivalent of Eclipse's shortcut to open a window and begin typing to search through list of all available classes and files and to open them. I think its Ctrl+Shift+R or +O or +T...can't remember. It's really handy though...

10. This is more of major feature. CSS doens't quite support variables yet (at least in most browsers). It would be very good if there was a simple form in which I do global changes to all of a certain color (eg all foreground colours that are #FFDD00 to #FFDD55 or all font's that are "Verdana, Arial, sans-serif" to "Georgia, Times, serif"...)

Keep up the stellar work :)
