"Best Development Program To Date"

4.5/5

What do you like best about PhpStorm?

PHPStorm combines all of what you need into one program. It has the ability to use Version Control, it lints every type of code you throw at it, and it's smart enough to know when you paste in code, to indent on its own. It can connect to the FTP you're code is running on, and compare live code with development code and show changes. Just does it all. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PhpStorm?

Only downside is I can't grab a small chunk of code and just paste it in there, PHPStorm can only seem to work with actual files. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Best and most complete IDE"

5/5

What do you like best about PhpStorm?

PHPStorm is really powerful, you can do anything with it : front-end development (great integration with node, gulp, etc...), back-end development (database connections, help for classes, objects, etc...), vcs (git) and it's extensible with a lot of plugins which are easy to install.

Maybe too powerful ? It needs a lot of ram so you can't just let a lot of projects open if you have only 8GB of ram like me ^^ Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
