> a built-in terminal window I remember that time when I couldn't get it why there isn't built-in terminal in the SublimeText and then I found windows managers like `sway` or `awesome` and I started do not care about it. > PHPStorm's XDebug integration is second to none, it has full MySQL integration, and it's autocomplete and click-through intelligence is incredibly smart. Support for XDebug exists in all modern editors - Atom, Sublime, NetBeans, etc. etc. If you "waste" some time on customizing your editor auto-completion feature you might will get a really decent one (in aforementioned editors). I must say PHPStorm had a superior look-for-file (think: Ctrl+P) feature which really gets annoying in other editors if you get used to it. About the MySQL integration: I was really positively surprised having it in the IDE but I've stopped using it as soon as my colleague told me about the HeidiSQL [0]. For person who was using SQL Management Studio at university, HeidiSQL offered the same feel - fast, lean and simple to use but also it is free and installation in Linux (wine) or macOS does not take much time. It is probably the best application written in Pascal that I know about. [0]: https://www.heidisql.com/ https://www.heidisql.com/

> Support for XDebug exists in all modern editors - Atom, Sublime, NetBeans, etc. etc. It does, but PHPStorm's is particularly competent. From rewinding the stack, having an in-context command line prompt to run code in, conditional debug points, current context auto-complete for the command line, it can even read cachegrind outputs. It's the level of competence they implement in all their features that take it from a "text editor preference" to a professional level tool. > I must say PHPStorm had a superior look-for-file (think: Ctrl+P) feature You can also "look everywhere" which looks at literally everything from the same text-box, so if I type "show line numbers" it searches through the settings panes and finds the "show line numbers" setting, and because it's a toggle, I can just hit enter on the search result and it toggles the setting. Also class definitions (PHP, Javscript and CSS definitions) are all fuzzy searchable. "SoClNa" will find the SomeClassName definition and also the "Some/Class/Name" folder and so on. I know I'm gushing about it but I really could talk for ages about all the little things it does.
