Pro Tightly integrated with Zend Server
Pro Zend Framework integration
Cons
Con Expensive
Con Used to be quite good, but left behind by PhpStorm in terms of functionality.
Used Zend Studio for many years, forking out lots of money to do so. Since Zend stopped offering Zend Server as a free edition, I switched to PhpStorm. The difference is amazing - PhpStorm is so much nicer to use, and has many more time-saving and code-improving features. For a start, PhpStorm knows all about Drupal coding standards, and Drupal as a content management framework. It even spots when you create a project that uses Drupal: two clicks later you are configured for Drupal coding style and you have automatic code completion for Drupal hook functions!
Con Javascript is broken in version 13.6
