Generally what I hear is that coders like to use <insert your favorite programmer's editor here although <insert your favorite diety here> knows why that would be vi or vim>. Designer types tend to like things like Dreamweaver.

I've tried a few of the PHP-aware editors, haven't really found one that's compelling enough for me to change. A lot of them have "wizards" that will insert chunks of code for various HTML or PHP structures. Most of the time I feel like those are more of a pain than they're worth.

I use UltraEdit32 with the PHP syntax highlighting definition under Windows for my main editor.

In Linux, I either use Quanta or Kate when in X... or joe if I'm in text mode. I still haven't found an editor in Linux that I like quite as much as UltraEdit.
