Frankly - I don't know which is better or worse; I've worked with Eclipse ... it was required by the College I attend for the JAVA course -it worked great for that and I quickly understood how to manipulate the project to store "everything" related to the class, including PDF files and Word Documents.
When it comes to PHP -well, I can't seem to get XDebug to function with Eclipse. Not even sure I know why at this point. I installed NetBeans and had no problems interfacing with XDebug for PHP ... so I'm torn. There are aspects that I like about both of these applications -and things I don't like, mostly cosmetic things. Like where they write their project data -and about renaming or moving project data ... I've had a bugger of a time with Eclipse -and not as much trouble with 'Beans.
