"Worth the effort in the long run"
What do you like best about PhpStorm?

Very powerful, tons of customization options that can be specified on a global or project level, has git integration (though I only ever use it to pull changes for all of my active branches), tons of different additional packages. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PhpStorm?

Not very lightweight, slow learning curve and not very user-friendly, can require complex or tedious customization to get it the way you want it, you'll always feel like there's more you could be doing or getting out of it (and there probably is). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A must have IDE for PHP and frontend development"
What do you like best about PhpStorm?

The best part of PHPStorm as I would see it is the careful quality with which it's designers tried to address regular programming issues. This IDE checks your sentence structure, as well as your semantics. For instance, when I was customizing with Javascript, I erroneously set the width of a protest the stature of another question. To my suprise, PHPStorm understood my mistake and cautioned me that I ought to most likely not allot "stature" to "width". This is only a microcosm of the general handiness of this program.

What do you dislike about PhpStorm?

Some of the time, the extent of the application influences it to ease back to stack. Substantial ventures with huge amounts of documents may pause for a moment to import the initial couple of times. Joining with things like Laravel's craftsman and CakePHP is to wanted. In any event, it could utilize a few layouts. It could likewise utilize only a couple of upgrades in the Drupal and WordPress reconciliations Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Solid, intelligent PHP IDE"
What do you like best about PhpStorm?

Incredibly intellgient. It understand context. For example, opening a directory that has a WordPress instance it will automatically ask you to enable WordPress support. It can also do thing like auto-detect PSR roots and recognize composer files. It also has excellent VCS integration as well as solid integration with issue trackers Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PhpStorm?

Sometimes, the size of the application makes it slow to load. Large projects with tons of files may take a minute to import the first few times. Integration with things like Laravel's artisan and CakePHP is to desired. At the least, it could use some templates. It could also use just a few enhancements in the Drupal and WordPress integrations Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"The Best Web Development Tool"
What do you like best about PhpStorm?

The Php part of Php storm doesn't tell the whole story of this application. This is a great tool for all types of web development. This tool is great for developing using Javascript and other web languages. Syntax highlighting is done very well within the application. It also works well with JSON manipulation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PhpStorm?

This tool is not as WYSIWYG as Dreamweaver. CSS could be supported much better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
