PhpStorm

I've been in the #frontend game for about 7 years now. I started coding in Sublime Text because all of the tutorials I was doing back then everyone was using it. I found the speed amazing compared to some other tools at the time. I kept using Sublime Text for about 4-5 years.

I find Sublime Text lacks some functionality, after all it is just a text editor rather than a full fledged IDE. I finally converted over to PhpStorm as I was working with Magento and Magento as you know is mainly #PHP based.

This was amazing all the features in PhpStorm I loved, the debugging features, and the control click feature when you click on a dependency or linked file it will take you to that file. It was great.

PhpStorm is kind of slow, I found that Prettier was taking a long time to format my code, and it just was lagging a lot so I was looking for alternatives. After watching some more tutorial videos I noticed that everyone was using Visual Studio Code. So I gave it a go, and its amazing.

It has support for everything I need with the plugins and the integration with Git is amazing. The speed of this IDE is blazing fast, and I wouldn't go back to using PhpStorm anymore. I highly recommend giving Visual Studio Code a try!

The best PHP editor. Also is a great MySQL/SQLite datasource browser, text editor, and I think it makes coffee too. PhpStorm

Mailer, forms; anything that I feel PHP can still provide advantages simply AngularJS/MEAN stack PhpStorm

Writing software, navigating code bases, and refactoring code. Intellisense and click through are heavily used features here. PhpStorm

The best PHP editor available. We really don't know how we managed to do anything before using this fantastic tool. PhpStorm
