Suggested Mac OS X Leopard dev environment?

[Evil Otto]

I've been trying (not all that successfully) to set up a dev
environment here and would appreciate any wisdom you folks can
provide.

If any of you use OS X for development, could you tell me what your
environment is like (IDE selection, server location, remote/local
debugging, so forth)? What I've got at the moment is Zend Studio and
a Linux-based (separate) development server. Zend has just informed
me that a bug that is a show-stopper for me will not be fixed, so I'm
trying to consider alternatives.

Any suggestions are welcome.

I edit in TextWrangler, manage my files with svnX and run a local copy of
MAMP for testing.

Zend Studio comes with Zend Core.

If you install Zend Core, it'll get all the Apache, MySQL, PHP stuff
installed for you.
Then, when you install Zend Studio, you'll have all the IDE stuff you need -
and it'll work.

Unless you have two files in different directories that happen to have
the same name, in which case, it won't. That's the bug that they're
not going to fix.

I have been using Mac for the past 6 month (updated to Leopard
recently). I use Zend IDE, MAMP (for local testing). There might be a
transitional period (get used to OS X).

That's probably the setup I'm going to end up going with (or Neon,
haven't decided yet.) There are some seriously painful workarounds
(and the MAMP distro has its MySQL configured in a supremely stupid
way, without any query cache.)

Still, it boggles me that they're not even going to try to fix the bug
that made me look for alternatives in the first place. Their
suggested solution (I'm not kidding) was "don't use files with the
same name."

Oops - I'm not on Mac.
That's what I was doing "right". ;)

The problem seems to occur if you fiddle around with the working dir
(chdir() calls for instance). If you don't it's likely you won't have any
problems.
