I just installed Aptana and I'm finding it extremely useful! – Neo

I like Aptana too. The css editor is pretty nifty on Aptana too. The only editor I like better is Textmate. – Hijoung

It is not an IDE, but if you are a textmate user, then there is a bundle for CakePHP: http://thechaw.com/cakephp_tmbundle

Answer 3

Komodo Edit has a CakePHP addon and a macro to ease MVC navigation.

It is built on the Mozilla code base so is similarly extensible through addons, has equivalent memory consumption/speeds, and is licensed under the same terms.

Nearly forgot to mention, it is also cross-platform.

PHPed by Nusphere works great. They've even posted an excellent article to help get it all set up.
