I do run SLAX live CD at work so I can use Bluefish. Here are some issues I have found with Bluefish though:

1. When using quotation marks in blocks of PHP code, you often lose the formatting colors. It's really annoying.
2. I don't like auto complete and Bluefish has an auto closing tag feature that is immediate (unlike Jedit)
3. Bluefish doesn't highlight brackets, so I have to manually locate opening and closing brackets.

So why do I use Bluefish?

1. Runs HTML Tidy and PHP Checker.
2. Has simple lists for obscure tags and foreign symbols.
3. Runs fine in XFCE without loading too many additional libs.

So, there ya go,
