I can refactor a chunk of messy script into a separate method with PHPStorm, it's just one command. Good luck with Sublime :) IDEs were invented for a reason. To each his own, but I lost count of how many times I fixed bugs (of the sort that I could broadly classify as typos) made by colleagues who choose to code in Sublime, Commodo, Notepad++ and the like. I really like Sublime when I need to search for something in…

The idea that you need to click on GUI buttons to get anything done is regressive to the extreme.

Actually PHPStorm is so good with keyboard shortcuts that it offers a few default sets ("keymaps") out of the box to choose from.

Eg. I'm used to Visual Studio shortcuts scheme - I can switch to it straight away (IDE Settings -> Keymap -> Keymaps). There's also Emacs, NetBeans, Eclipse etc. So you don't even need adjusting your habits or wasting time for manual customization.

I don't want to sell you this stuff (not associated with JetBrains in any way), but it's solid, so why make bones about it

I've started using WebStorm for the last 6 months... it's sick for anything js/node/coffee/mv*. Also started messing with RubyMine. It's nice to have all your keyboard shortcuts standardized across IDE's.

Wait till you try intellij idea: java, php, ruby, python, go, js, node, coffee, etc all in one.

+1 for IntelliJ IDEA

Every time I try a full fledged IDE I always fall back to a text editor like sublime-text. Some habits are hard to break.

Can PHPStorm be considered a full fledged IDE? I kind of think a full fledged IDE should be capable of multiple languages. e.g. Ruby, Python, HTML5, etc. all in one package. PHPStorm is a specialized IDE.

it's just a stripped down version of intellij, at a lower price. Pay for intellij and you get all the languages that are supported.

It's lack of support for the Open JDK somewhat kills it for me (I run Linux): https://www.jetbrains.com/phpstorm/webhelp/system-requiremen...

It runs fine in OpenJDK, at least in my case.

(ArchLinux x86_64 https://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/jre7-openjdk...)

Anyway, you can always download Java from the Oracle Downloads website and put it somewhere in your home directory and just define these variables in ~/.bashrc:

export JAVA_HOME="/home/username/Software/Java/jdkx.y.z_w/"

export JRE_HOME="$JAVA_HOME/jre"

export JDK_HOME="$JAVA_HOME"

export PHP_STORM_HOME="/home/username/Software/PHP/PhpStorm-x.y/"

export PATH="$PATH:$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PHP_STORM_HOME/bin"

. ~/.bashrc

phpstorm.sh > /dev/null 2>&1 &

echo "Enjoy the ride"

My one year subscription expires in December, so I was really hoping they'd get version 7 out before it runs out.

My favorite feature is the static code analysis that allows for autocomplete but also shows errors in the code, like functions not available in a class, unused variables, etc. When I use PHPStorm I always find problems in my co-workers code that wouldn't be obvious without code analysis.

php 5.5 support listed as a feature annoys me.

I am a paying user ) and when I reported that php 5.5 was not recognized as php 5.4 or better I felt I was just brushed off. So, for the moment I cannot use the built in server features.

) Technically I bought Idea and downloaded the php plugins.

The idea that you need to click on GUI buttons to get anything done is regressive to the extreme.

As well as being able to set shortcuts for anything you access regularly that doesn't have a default pre-installed, every command can be accessed via one keyboard shortcut (Command + Shift + A on the Mac). You just hit that shortcut, type the first few characters of the command you're interested in, then hit enter.

I switched to PhpStorm from a regular text editor and would not go back.

I always pronounce it "PU PHP Pet." Which I guess is logical because elephants.

I recently decided the correct pronunciation is "puff-et"... like "elephpant"!

That's how I pronounce it too, also love that tool. Much love <3

How are the fonts with Ubuntu (Linux)? Last time I used it a year ago they were terrible.

This is the reason that I cannot use phpstorm on linux. I was a long term phpstorm user on windows, but when I swapped to linux I just couldn't stand those fonts. I now dread opening up phpstorm.
