Open Source Initiative

Aptana Studio's community edition is the free, open source Web development environment optimized for use with Ajax libraries and scripting languages like JavaScript, Ruby and PHP. Aptana Studio is considered by many devleopers the best-in-class authoring environment for today's more rich and interactive Web pages and Ajax applications. The free version includes the core pieces of Aptana Studio's editing, debugging, synchronization, and project management capabilities, including pieces for scripting, customizing and extending Aptana Studio. Perhaps that's why there's already been more than 1,360,000 downloads. Support for Adobe AIR, Apple iPhone, PHP, and Ruby on Rails development comes via additional development plugins which are also free.
