I've been trying PhpStorm for a while and to be honest I don't see the benefits compared to Netbeans.

Re: PhpStorm 7.0 final release is here
#62Just as I was going to install PhpStorm 6 on my new machine at work, cool. Most people in my team are not convinced PhpStorm brings anything valuable compared to NetBeans, Eclipse, Sublime2 or even vim. Maybe I will try once again with version 7 :)
I only briefly used Eclipse, so I can't comment on that one. I used NetBeans for a few months though. PHPStorm has much superior refactoring, it beats NB hands down. This by itself was for me enough of a reason to switch. I also had some issues with NetBeans being inresponsive, or some functionalities breaking for no clear reason (like "go to definition" wouldn't work anymore) etc. My working copy was on a mounted dr…
What's so good about PhpStorm's refactoring? Can you give an example?

#63Awesome VCS integration, super fast and symbol navigation is amazing. I stuck with Netbeans for over two years, it was decent, and then the newer versions (7.3) started crashing on my large PHP project. Switched to phpStorm and never looked back.

#64It's lack of support for the Open JDK somewhat kills it for me (I run Linux): https://www.jetbrains.com/phpstorm/webhelp/system-requiremen...
IDEA runs well in OpenJDK 7. Have you just given it a shot?
I haven't frankly, I was just going by their notes which state that it does not. I might give PHPStorm a go with the trail version on the Open JDK.

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…
I'll try it on Fedora on the Open JDK and see how it goes. Right now I'm using Sublime and love it, but many of my colleagues are encouraging me to try PHPStorm.

#66Strange that pyCharm does have a community edition (http://www.jetbrains.com/pycharm/download/index.html) but phpStorm doesn't (http://www.jetbrains.com/phpstorm/download/index.html)

Well I can confirm that it does appear to work on Fedora 19 using the Open JDK, but it is slow on my machine (i7 with 8GB of RAM and an SSD). In fairness though it does make it clear with this warning message when you run it that this is to be expected:
"./phpstorm.sh WARNING: You are launching the IDE using OpenJDK Java runtime.
ITS KNOWN TO HAVE PERFORMANCE AND GRAPHICS ISSUES!
SWITCH TO THE ORACLE(SUN) JDK BEFORE REPORTING PROBLEMS!
So yeah, I guess they weren't kidding in their list of requirements. Oracle JDK or suffer a degraded performance.

They say that they don't support it. There's a difference between "doesn't work" and "isn't supported". Isn't supported implies that if you encounter a bug that is due to your choice of JDK, they will not feel obligated to fix it (though may still choose to do so if its practical for them to do so).

PyCharm Community Edition does not include all the web features - those available in Professional edition (and other features too). That would be quite strange to have PhpStorm Community Edition without support for web technologies (without PHP too)

#70Anyone here used PhpEd and then switched to PhpStorm in the last few years?
I've really enjoyed using PhpEd myself, but sometimes it gets annoying that it has its own debugger (not XDebug) and that seems to cause issues with typical tools like PHPUnit and some of the features they have (like code coverage tests).
