C# is to Visual Studio as PHP is to... anything?

Now that I've started learning Microsoft's languages and using Visual Studio, any time I code in PHP I feel like a second-class citizen. Is there anything for PHP developers that comes close to what VS offers for VB and C# developers?

I've always liked PHPEdit. From my last memory of using it some 3 years ago, it wasn't clunky like eclipse and had a pretty good "intellisense"

JetBrains PHPStorm 2.0 (Coming soon; version 1.0 currently for sale). Code completion, code inspection, GIT and Mercurial support. I have no connection with JetBrains, just a satisfied customer.

You can download a beta-test copy of PHPStorm 2.0 here.

Does it have to be windows based? I'm pretty sure if you were working on linux then VIM and EMACS would have a lot to offer...you probably wouldn't even need a mouse :-)
