"The only PHP IDE you will need"

5/5

What do you like best about PhpStorm?

I love this IDE. I came from VS Code thinking that was the best, but boy was I wrong. I love the customization that is allowed here, from visual themes to other plugins to help with your workflows. The GUI for git and terminal are also an incredibly awesome bonus. Managing projects is also a breeze with this editor. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PhpStorm?

The only negative comment I have is in terms of booting up. While it is not extremely slow like other bloated IDEs of the past, I do notice that it takes a bit longer to get started. Make sure you have your coffee with you when you get your day started. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
