In reply to Orc's post: me. I often start elaborating on an idea by jotting down on paper. I tend to doodle ideas rather than simply describe things in words and the tactile world of graphite and thinly sliced tree work better for me than staring at a computer screen.

That said, as I've noted in other similar topics, the actual writing of PHP usually involves Coda or TextMate (whichever wins the race to open first ). However I have on occasion written out whole reams of PHP code onto paper when the juices were flowing but not a keyboard was to be found.

I've been toying with Komodo (an IDE) recently, and Zend too, but I've never really felt comfortable with IDEs with their bells and whilstles.
