I believe so, but I don't know why you would others - if you are set on
purchasing an ide.

I'm a big fan of the Zend IDE, 2.5 beats NuSphere hands down.  With that
said, Zend IDE 2.6 should come out soon, and that's even better than
2.5, with support for cvs project management.

Those are links to external reviews of the product.

PS: I have no professional affiliation with Zend.  Although, it must be
said, I like them, and I find NuSphere's behaviour with MySQL
repugnant...
