- V-2 13y agoI can refactor a chunk of messy script into a separate method with PHPStorm, it's just one command. Good luck with Sublime :) IDEs were invented for a reason. To each his own, but I lost count of how many times I fixed bugs (of the sort that I could broadly classify as typos) made by colleagues who choose to code in Sublime, Commodo, Notepad++ and the like. I really like Sublime when I need to search for something in a code base though. It also has very pleasant, slick feeling to it.
- donalmacc 13y agoUntil you try to open a relatively large file in sublime at which point it just craps out. My only gripe with sublime is that.
- pekk 13y agoThe idea that you need to click on GUI buttons to get anything done is regressive to the extreme.
- ned_roberts 13y agoNo need to click on anything. Everything's accessible through the keyboard.
- gog 13y agoThat is not the idea. The idea is to use the shortcuts.
- V-2 13y agoActually PHPStorm is so good with keyboard shortcuts that it offers a few default sets ("keymaps") out of the box to choose from. Eg. I'm used to Visual Studio shortcuts scheme - I can switch to it straight away (IDE Settings -> Keymap -> Keymaps). There's also Emacs, NetBeans, Eclipse etc. So you don't even need adjusting your habits or wasting time for manual customization. I don't want to sell you this stuff (not associated with JetBrains in any way), but it's solid, so why make bones about it
- modernerd 13y agoAs well as being able to set shortcuts for anything you access regularly that doesn't have a default pre-installed, every command can be accessed via one keyboard shortcut (Command + Shift + A on the Mac). You just hit that shortcut, type the first few characters of the command you're interested in, then hit enter. I switched to PhpStorm from a regular text editor and would not go back.
- conradfr 13y agoNow if I could remember all the shortcuts ... https://www.jetbrains.com/phpstorm/documentation/PhpStorm_ReferenceCard.pdf https://www.jetbrains.com/phpstorm/documentation/PhpStorm_Re...
- kayoone 13y agocompletely reverted for me. Whenever i try to work with vim/sublime on larger projects i feel so crippled without the advanced debugging and refactoring features that i will go back to an IDE. With PhpStorm i didnt feel the urge to change again yet though ;)
- Miyamoto 13y agoCan PHPStorm be considered a full fledged IDE? I kind of think a full fledged IDE should be capable of multiple languages. e.g. Ruby, Python, HTML5, etc. all in one package. PHPStorm is a specialized IDE.
- jtreminio 13y agoPhpStorm ships with support for PHP, Javascript, HTML, CSS. It has plugins for: * ASP * Behat * CoffeeScript * Gherkin * HAML * Markdown * LESS * YAML * NodeJS * Dart * AngularJS * C/C++ * Mongo * Apache/Nginx * and a lot more ... Yeah, I'd say it's full-fledged.
- jshen 13y agoit's just a stripped down version of intellij, at a lower price. Pay for intellij and you get all the languages that are supported.
- EdwardDiego 13y agoPHPStorm is more focused and coherent and includes some features that IDEA + PHP plugin doesn't, IMO. If I were a full-time PHP developer, I'd use PHPStorm, but for my occasional PHP needs, IDEA + PHP plugin is ideal. PyCharm is much the same - for full-time Python development, I'd prefer it to IDEA + plugin.
