I was wondering if you guys had any suggestions for the following. I'll be using FuelPHP to develop a html5 web application (using AngularJS); The IDE is Netbeans 7.2 on Win 7 64-bit. I'll be running a VMware with Ubuntu 11.04 and use the WinSCP sync option to keep the files up to date. In such a setup, would you recommend using the oil utility on the vm to set up and manage the project, or will I be better off without using oil?
I highly suggest taking a look at sublime text 2. Netbeans is a tad overkill for a php site (as it is for compiling java). Sublime text 2 is free and is much, much, much more malleable (customizable) than net beans in that respect.
Also I highly recommend always using oil as it is a huge benefit and time saver in FuelPHP
