"Best IDE for PHP"
What do you like best about PhpStorm?

Currently the best tool for coding in PHP. PHPStorm is really smart. The auto-complete is superb and it understands your code without need of doing additional tricks.

It's easy to use once you get the grip of it. Default config is good, but the best part is that it can be configured like almost any IDE you used before are are coming from.

Ability to work on a remote project is also great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PhpStorm?

Written in Java... memory footprint is really big, especially when indexing or opening a large project for the first time.

Configuration is not the easiest task if you're not familiar with the terms. Also online documentation could be better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"My experience with PhpStorm"
What do you like best about PhpStorm?

PhpStorm is the best Php Editor out there, with an A+ php language support and integration. It has so many features that i'd need a whole day to talk about them. Simply put, it's Sublime on steroids. The features don't focus only on PHP, it comes with everything you can possibly need to develop a webapp or a website written in PHP. It has perfect support for Laravel, vue.js, css, scss, ECMA 6 javascript, docker, ftp and much much more. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PhpStorm?

It has too many features, which makes it a little slow to load. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"PHP Storm all in one UI editor. "
What do you like best about PhpStorm?

I love, its easy to use feature and no matter what it doesn't crashes like other specially if you work eclipse for UI. One good thing about using JetBrains products is that, if you know atl-east one IDE to use, you can easily use all. Maybe its called PHP storm but it fulfills all UI needs like Node.js,React.js etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PhpStorm?

Not any thing in particular but I think they must provide most install able plugins to support Frameworks such as CakePHP. By default it should support to some new Java Script frameworks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
