Can someone name any great (PHP-)IDE's which aren't running on java (but
work on windows)? Open Source would of course be prefered but I don't care
paying for good tools.

Eclipse is a nice IDE but in fact I never got it running very performant and
thats why I don't even considere using an IDE for coding php.
Maybe an IDE which runns fast and without using many resources would make me
change my mind...
