Aptana Studio

Aptana Studio is a comprehensive application that helps programmers build web applications in various languages, such as HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, Ruby, PHP, and Python.

The interface is divided into multiple panels for exploring applications, managing the workspace, outline, samples and snippets, as well as for viewing console, terminal and error details, aside from the the main area for writing code.

You can create a new project from scratch in PHP, HTML5, Ruby, or Rails, as well as use one of the templates supplied by the program when it comes to Beaver, Coffeescript, PHP, JavaScript, Python, XML, or other languages.

It is possible to insert preset commands and tags, run and debug configurations, convert line delimiters, add bookmarks and tasks, activate word completion mode, open resources, and jump to a particular line.

Other options of Aptana Studio let you use an advanced search function with filters for files, text and PyDev, create JavaScript exception breakpoints, and inspect data, as well as customize the appearance when it comes to toolbar and menu visibility, commands groups availability, and shortcuts.

The application is surprisingly light on the system resources, running on low CPU and RAM. It is quite responsive to commands and commits changes rapidly. We have not encountered any issues in our tests, since the tool did not hang or crash. Aptana Studio integrates some useful components for any programmer's utility belt.
