Aptana has come out of beta with Aptana Studio 1.0
Posted on Tuesday, October 30th, 2007 under designer tools by Dustin Brewer.I have previously mentioned my use of Aptana IDE as a replacement for Dreamweaver, not for any point and click interface but to simplify my coding. The biggest part of my editor that I need to be easy and straightforward is a simple auto-complete and key board shortcuts for code snippets. There are other features that are important to me like memory management and interface design but they aren’t quite as important as the previous two.Aptana boasts an amazing set of abilities, one of them being that is works cross-platform. You can use Aptana on OSX, Windows or Linux just the same. The reason for this is that it was developed on the Java platform so it is easily transferred to other operating systems. Aptana also supports most of the major programming and markup languages such as PHP, MySQL, Javascript, Ruby, HTML, CSS, and more.
The software was previously free across the board while is was in beta but not that it has graduated they have split it up into two different versions. You have Aptana Studio 1.0 Professional and Aptana Studio 1.0 Community. The professional edition costs $99 currently and adds secure FTP support amongst other features.
The professional edition also offers the ability to use JSON and their support is also only available with the professional edition. You can still get support for Aptana Studio Community through the forums from other members. There exclusive support is, however, only available with the professional edition.
I haven’t had the opportunity to test out the newest edition fully but I will surely report back any features that I see that just blow me away.

Aptana sucks, it deletes your files and has all kinds of other random bugs. It doesn’t even use syntax coloring properly on php and all kinds of other files.
It shouldn’t be available to the public as bad as it is.
Aptana has gotten much worse lately, as they’ve been adding things and breaking things.
See the following for example.
