"PhpStorm Is The Best Coding Environment I Have Ever Used"
5/5
What do you like best about PhpStorm?

PhpStorm's coding environment is the best that I have ever used. Coding errors are caught immediately (i.e. misspelled class name), and the completely customizable interface makes great use of colors, automatic indents, and code folding. Another great feature of PhpStorm is that it will automatically notify you when you have function input parameter errors (i.e. incorrect data type or incorrect number of parameters given). Lastly (and this is by far not a complete list of things that I like about PhpStorm), I love the automatic integration of repository (i.e. GitHub Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PhpStorm?

There is not much I can comment about here as PhpStorm has propelled my web-based, data-driven application development to the next level. PhpStorm's support is next level - they actually listen to your ideas to make the product better and their update procedure allows you to work without implementing the update (it's your choice WHEN to implement the update).

"Really good"
4/5
What do you like best about PhpStorm?

It is a complete IDE, with many plugins that will help you write your code more straightforwardly, easy integration with the PSR standard, and multiple versions of PHP; you have to define which version you will use in each project, and the IDE does the rest, the running and debugging unit tests is also very well implemented Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PhpStorm?

Perhaps one of the most significant disadvantages that the IDE has is its price, but if you can afford it, it is a super recommended tool; you also have the option of trying it for a few days to see if it meets expectations, another point against is that some plugins are paid separately Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A modern IDE power packed with everything a developer requires"
4.5/5
What do you like best about PhpStorm?

There are multiple things that I really like about PhpStorm; some of them are :

1. It provides an easy integration with GIT, which opens up a lot of opportunities for a developer to secure and synchronize his/her code and, ultimately, the project.

2. PhpStorm provides a coder with a lot of shortcuts during the development, which assists the developer and makes the code time-efficient and effective.

3. The UI/UX is so friendly and clean it gives the developer a pretty warm environment while coding. Moreover, it's damn easy to install and run that any naive person can start coding with PhpStorm easily.

4. It offers a list of plugins to install and make your job easy. I have installed many extensions according to my coding tactics, and I may tell you it provides an excellent level of comfort. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PhpStorm?

Apart from all these positives, there are some negatives which need to be improvised :

1. Foremost thing which I count as a negative factor will be its support. PhpStorm only supports PHP, HTML, CSS, and JS, which I think limits the use of this IDE, and the user has to install other platforms to handle other programming languages. I think this should be fixed and it should support almost every language.

2. To run smoothly and seamlessly, PhpStorm needs a good hardware with an excellent RAM capacity. On a low-spec system, it runs very laggy and provides a lot of latency.

3. Where many IDE is free and provides everything a developer needs, PHPStorm is a paid IDE. What the pricing of this platform should be is a debatable topic, but yeah, I think all free IDE's with similar capabilities holds a plus point against PhpStorm on this.

"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.
