I can't live without syntax highlighting.. not to mention auto-indentation is very helpful.. auto complete also saves tons of time so you dont have keep looking up function syntax from the manual..
Zend Studio also checks for syntax errors on the fly.. we always make typos, and get some parse (or syntax) errors when we run something the first time..
plus it has debugging features which helps you trace your program in case you are getting some unexpected results..
i think the IDE is way more important than the tools you have mentioned.
