I develop PHP + HTML + CSS + JS + jQuery, and I use Komodo Edit. It has the Mozilla engine, can use firefox extensions, and is free. It does not offer debugging for all those languages, but it understands them well and interestingly I've found the CSS auto-completion to be the most useful. You can preview in tab or split-screen, or teach it to preview a file using a different address, for when I'm running Apache + PHP and want it to preview through URL rather than Filesystem. I hear Firebug is very useful with Komodo Edit but thankfully development with jQuery is so smooth I rarely have to debug! I haven't tried Aptana yet, has anyone tried both and think I should make the switch?
