"Highly efficient PHP development"

5/5

What do you like best about PhpStorm?

With all the shortcuts, the flexible and intuitive layout, the find-usage and jump-to functionality, it's a lot of fun to code with the software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PhpStorm?

Some few javascript files made PhpStorm very slow for me. Could never really find out why. So, I simply couldn't keep them open. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Best IDE for PHP development"

5/5

What do you like best about PhpStorm?

PhpStorm is definatelly the best PHP IDE at the time. It has all features you could need to develop small-to-large projects, based on PHP. We switched from Nusphere's PhpEd and this change was nicely accepted in our company. I like code-completion based on out framework, usage of PhpDoc tags and automatization to create them. Coding standards settings are really complex and allow us to fit the different projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PhpStorm?

No easy&comfort way to edit remote files throught FTP(S). Even it's not a good way to edit projects this way, sometimes it could be usefull on some minor tasks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering PhpStorm:

PhpStorm is the best PHP IDE, worth the money for sure. Do not consider, try it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"PHPStorm, always my first choice to PHP development"

5/5

What do you like best about PhpStorm?

PHPStorm helps to built great PHP applications, their features are the best and they are always improving. The plugin support is great, some missed features are covered by the great variety of plugins. Auto-complete features on almost any framework make it very useful. They have theming support, it is great because i have some visual problems and with themes i can feel more comfortable while coding reducing the visual impact of being most of time working at my computer.

Their Javascript/CSS/HTML support make it suitable to design websites without having to use another tool to do the job. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PhpStorm?

Almost nothing, they need best support for some frameworks, but they are always updating and adding new features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"PHPStorm A great IDE worth exploring if you are using PHP"

4.5/5

What do you like best about PhpStorm?

Zero configuration setup using XDebug. Easy setup and configuration for debugging web applications With PHP, JavaScript. LIve edit for chrome is an added plus. Can debug remote applications on VM as well as local and pretty fast. It has all the basic features of an IDE (autocompletion, code analysis, formatting, git version control etc.) plus the user experience makes it worthwhile. Uses less memory and can handle multiple application projects open without hanging and decent plugins available for most features you need. Works with mac pretty well.

What do you dislike about PhpStorm?

Pricey compared to net beans and cannot work with cross applications with Java as well (you need to buy IntelliJ for that)..More pricey. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

JavaScript intelligence. Of all ides I have tried, intellij products provide better code intelligence towards javascript. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"It's like Intellij Idea, only better"

5/5

What do you like best about PhpStorm?

I love that this program is tailored to PHP development, as the title suggests. For years I used Intellij-IDEA for PHP work, but switched late last year to PHP Storm. As silly as it sounds, I love that the Monokai theme is default. Debugging is pretty easy to set up, depending on where your project lives. If you've used Jet Brains apps before, it has the same intuitive, awesome Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

So far, I have not found much to dislike. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Useful application for heavy development"

4.5/5

What do you like best about PhpStorm?

With PHPStorm, navigating between classes and following through method calls is a breeze, making debugging a lot easier. The autofill/autocomplete features are useful, with easy commands for filling in use statements for classes you're trying to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PhpStorm?

The application is a little heavy for simpler HTML/Javascript editing, so when I need to do those I just open up a text editor. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering PhpStorm:

Try it out, it's definitely worth it. If you don't see it meeting your needs you can always switch back - but I switched and never went back. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is PhpStorm solving and how is that benefiting you?

Working with larger PHP codebases can be troublesome for some applications, but with PHPStorm I haven't run into any issues. It helps keep work moving. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"An overall time saver and organizer"

5/5

What do you like best about PhpStorm?

What I find to be the best features of PHPStorm include SSH Access, FTP/SFTP access, and the code auto-complete suggestions, syntax coloring, and a community backed behind it which creates plugins. PHPStorm is extremely customizable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
