How is it better than Netbeans or Eclipse? I've been using mostly the former (after Zend Studio went AWOL). How does PHPStorm compare to those alternatives?

- mootothemax 14y agoHow is it better than Netbeans or Eclipse? It's been a couple of years since I last looked at Netbeans/Eclipse, so take this with a grain of salt: PHPStorm just works. The biggest issues I used to have were finding Netbeans very slow, and auto-complete in both Netbeans and Eclipse being somewhat unreliable - great when they worked, but that wasn't 100% of the time. Essentially, PHPStorm is what I always wanted Netbeans/Eclipse to be. As I say, though, it's been a long time since I last looked, and that's for a very good reason: at long last, I'm completely satisfied with my IDE.

- dmiladinov 14y agoPHPStorm is like the perfect gateway drug. I first became familiar with JetBrains products through PHPStorm, but have since upgraded to IntelliJ IDEA. IntelliJ IDEA is the perfect polyglot IDE, with support for the following either in-built or via plugin (and forgive me if I leave anything out, or add it in a reply): - Java - Scala - Clojure - Android - PHP - html/css/javascript - Python/Django - Ruby/Rails - Groovy/Grails - Actionscript/Flex I'm a raving fan!
