Dear Zend

Damn it Zend, you don't provide a plugin version of Eclipse, your Knowledge Base article about making it work doesn't work, and I can't get my plugins to install in your full Eclipse version. I don't care about 6.1, I want 6.0 that really delivers on the promise of being able to install plugins in the environment.

Your camelCase coding conventions are annoying. Under_Scores are so much more readable.

Love the framework, love the IDE. Just wish the IDE was a bit cheaper. Also, a ZendCon in London would be awesome!

Dear Zend,

If you're going to implement PHPUnit testing automation, at least make the thing work with the same test structure you use for PHPUnit in Zend Framework before releasing the code.

Dear Zend,

3 of our 4 developers switched back to Zend Studio 5.5 after trying the new Zend for Eclipse. It's too slow and buggy. We get the common "building workspace" loop issue.

Could you please have an academic discount for college employees!? It would make it much easier for schools to support PHP and maybe...just maybe...let us start teaching it!

Dear Zend,

Not only was there no reason for you to disable XDebug support in Zend Studio for Eclipse, but since you offer an inferior product without code coverage yourselves all you do is detract. I guess the whole point of Eclipse might have been "to add more value we can produce ourselves" only when it involves things you don't somehow claim stake in.

Dear Zend,

The guy who wrote Dear Zend is kind of a dick. Can you punish him by hiring him, putting him in a windowless basement office next to a photocopier and making him endlessly refactor an MVC framework that almost nobody will ever use.

Did call have a previous career as an "entertainer"? I am sure I saw him "performing" in Houston once. He used to work under the name "The Dreadnought", right? I know you won't answer officially, but if I am right, give me a sign. Wear handcuffs on your belt at the next PHP Conference.
