- LordIllidan 14y agoWhy don't you try out their 30 day trial? I wouldn't get PHPStorm if you're not using PHP (unless you want to be future proof in case you do end up using it.) Check out the webstorm features here: http://www.jetbrains.com/webstorm/features/index.html http://www.jetbrains.com/webstorm/features/index.html
- orillian 14y agoI have both. I really like the fact that the IDE's are so segregated. I find IDEA or Netbeans or Eclipse to have to much stuff. I use webStorm for javascript only projects and phpStorm when I'm doing php development. I configure each IDE to work how I like with the language of choice and all is good in the world.
- DigitalSea 14y agoIf you are primarily working with just PHP (well most of the time), PHPStorm is the best choice. It has some of the best debugging features you'll ever encounter (I originally came from Eclipse) and the Syntax highlighting is second to none. The great thing about what PHPStorm also does is you can see where everything is, hovering over a function or anything documented for that matter will show the documentation for said function. For Wordpress development especially it's really useful. The reason I moved to Sublime is I no longer primarily work with just PHP any more. Javascript, HTML, Python, Ruby, Node.js and CSS are some of the languages I find myself in. Sublime lacks a lot of nice features that PHPStorm has and definitely is a bit more manual in some aspects, I do miss the intelligent syntax highlighting and checking (warning you if you forgot to close a if statement and whatnot).
