Recommendations for php editor

B

I've been looking at a few tutorials on developing Wordpress themes, and it looks like the job is best done with a suitable php editor. A couple that I've seen suggested are editors/linux-sublime3 - which I can't even install, and devel/geany - which I can install, but doesn't seem to run under lxde...

What does anyone suggest?
 
Some you might like to consider are:

Gedit - If you are already using the Gnome DE. It is fairly good in that it has a file explorer side bar
Jedit - A little heavier because it uses Java but again it has a decent way of navigating files
Vim - I strongly recommend getting used to this. Being able to SSH into a remote web server and be productive is... liberating!
 
If your enquiry is not limited to FreeBSD, below are a few others

Microsoft Frontpage
Macromedia Dreamweaver
etc (::) These are dead or rebranded after being purchased by another coy.

Intellij {PHPStorm}
Netbeans - overkill

Sublime
Atom

There are several of them. Most of those mentioned above are GUIs. I prefer TUI {e.g. emacs with its variants}.
 
Can i advocate to editors/linux-sublime? You just have to load the linux subsystem kldload linux64 before installing. And it doesn't bring a lot of dependencies beside the linux_base ports.
The version 3 i couldn't get to launch. But this version 2 does the job well.
Is there a limitation i'm unware?! Sorry for my english.
 
@NivekOrge: the CudaText I mentioned above could be considered as an open source clone (not exactly) of SublimeText. It plugin system is very similar to Sublime and they plugins also written in Python.
 
I've found one thing that I want to change in CudaText: when I press the middle mouse button, it shows a "mouse wheel navigation icon" (for lack of a better description) instead of pasting whatever text I have selected (possibly in another window). So far I haven't found out how to change it.
