Moving to Aptana Studio 3
I've used the Eclipse IDE for awhile now, and I've decided to give the Eclipse-based Aptana Studio 3 a try. It offers some nice additional features and has returned to active development after the purchase of Aptana by Appcelerator.
That said, I'm being cautious since I wasn't all that impressed by the Appcelerator Titanium Studio IDE (too pushy on the marketing sales aspect).
So far, the only tweaks are setting the default theme to Tomorrow Night (Window > Preferences > Aptana Studio > Themes > Import) and add Aptana to my Lubuntu menu -- create a file called aptana.desktop in /usr/share/applications/ and add this text:
Terminal=false
Categories=Development;IDE;
Then, in Start > Programming, right-click on Aptana Studio and choose Properties. Click on Change Icon, choose the Image Files radio button, and browse to the Aptana Studio folder to select icon.xpm

Update: The experiment was short lived....switching back to Eclipse.
