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.

Well for me, it is a pain to SCP the file to my gateway server, then to the proper server, then copy it in the right place.
With Pico, I change something, save it, refresh in browser. Repeat until the bugs / parse errors are out, then just copy it to real server (from demo server I work on).
MUCH quicker for me. Also, I can interact with data in demo database and AdoDB has a simple debug true/false that lets you see all queries and their errors or transaction status.
