Well I'm using TextMate which is about the same as notepad, but the reason why I'm using TextMate instead of an IDE (most of them are available for mac (zend, aptana etc etc.)) is that TextMate just has a great uncluttered way of editing, especially if you compare TM to some of those cluttered IDE's.

And TextMate has a lot of those features you are naming e.g. code completion, syntax highlighting. And it has some features which you can see as debugging tools.
