![]() PHPStorm feels right for me, it supports XDebug, the only thing it can't do for me is have the built in php documentation that dreamweaver supports. But what could? Netbeans! However, netbeans never felt completely right for me beyond that built in support of remote debugging using php XDebug.īottom line, lately I think I've fallen in love. And no, Dreamweaver could not handle that. I needed to be able to connect Xdebug to my remote server to do some php debugging at times. However, even dreamweaver had its flaw in it that I needed another editor for from time to time. What did I need, what would improve my editing experience even more? Was it built in hex color picking? Could it of been an RCS system built into the editor itself, or would it of been built in php documentation to the editor and auto-completion and matching of functions? Or was it all of the above? Thats it, I wanted all of those feature & believe it or not, an editor I long since hated satisfied those needs for awhile, Dreamweaver. I tried notepad++, though honestly if I was going to use notepad++ on windows gvim was still a better match for me. I no longer developed in the shell of a server 24/7. So what could move me to another editor? Was simple, my days move more & more to web development & less of C & C++ development that needed to be over the shell. It settled my needs of editing code in C, in php, javascript, you name it, it handled it. For the longest time, I was happy with vim. One of the great things about vim is that it was even ported to windows, so on & more. I then moved onto my love of vim, I discovered syntax hiliting! Oh how beautiful that was, I could even put my code into nice foldable blocks! It included quick regexp match changing, I could easily change the color scheme of it and write macros. Then I switched to vi, I realized it was quite a bit more powerful, though still not what I needed. It could from line to line easily, it didn't have any complicated commands in it. As time went on I realized pico just couldn't do everything i needed. Notepad for my local code editing, and pico across the world of the net. Once upon a time in a time long long away, I would program everything using pico and notepad (the successor, some geeks might know as nano). ![]() phpStorm has all this and doesn't boast with awards and testimonials but has a team behind the development.For every occasional there is an awesome editor. Support for version control is minimal, there is no phpunit integration, etc. The first two persons under testimonials mention 'Dreamweaver' as an IDE :) and the software seems to be developed by only one person. Even the PHPDesigner website looks a bit fishy to me. I can't give you a very fact based long analysis but I'd say PHPDesigner gets nowhere near PHPStorm. It already supports things like Phing, SASS, PHP CodeSniffer, Github, etc. ![]() There is no qustion, PhpStorm is taking the world of PHP by storm.Ĭontrary to Eclipse based IDEs, PhpStorm is fast, development is fast and supports the new important trends quickly. ![]() In the meantime, we have introduced PhpStorm (after using Zend Studio, Aptana, Netbeans and Eclipse) and our whole team agrees that it is by far the best IDE we have ever worked with.
