I'm a huge fan of PhpStorm. However, I'm wondering what's the purpose of having vagrant in an IDE?

Vagrant is easy to work already, just 'vagrant up' and you're away. What problem does the IDE solve? And looking at the interface, the 'halt' button is too close to the 'destroy' button. Might have an accidental click there...

It would be cool if they had an interface such as WAMP Server, where you can select the php versions, php extensions, start / stop services, log files, v-host configs, etc, all from one menu. Now that would be very useful.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

If you choose Ubuntu and 5.4/5.5 you're going to use Ondrej's repo. The problem with that is that Ondrej's 5.5 repo comes with Apache 2.4+ and the Apache Puppet module I'm using only supports up to Apache 2.2 - so Ubuntu + Apache + PHP 5.5 will not work right now, but Nginx will. Or use Debian.

Sounds good in my case, because I use php-fpm with nginx anyways! Great work. By using MySQL usage for dev is pretty much the same as with Percona, it would've been nicer though to have Percona (or MariaDB if other people use that) instead of actual MySQL though, because you never know if there will be some incompatibility issues.

PRs are accepted :)

I've been using PhpStorm for a few years now. After going through several time-wasting periods of trying out every IDE I could get my hands on to see what I liked, I ended up and have stayed with PhpStorm because it is hands down the most feature-full, fast, stable and up-to-date IDE for PHP (and HTML/JS!) development. It also does not hurt that they're going on a Vagrant rampage and have been showing off my app, htt…

I love the elephant puppet mascot.

Just 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 :)

No, it's

1) Switch to the console

2) Vagrant up

3) Wait for the results

4) Switch back

Instead of one key press and watching it run in the bottom console while you're writing the code.

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.

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 a code base though. It also has very pleasant, slick feeling to it.
