Netbeans is by far the most powerful PHP IDE out there. The intellisense like search, jumping to definitions, code re-factoring, file search, integrated debugging, and code analysis makes everything else look like a joke.
It's not the most prettiest IDE out there, but it's free and open source. It's the visual studio of PHP and java, only better. And open source.
- elwell 13y agoCouldn't agree more. I would add that the Git integration is just about perfect, as well as the remote synchronization. My main complaint, however, is slow load time and occasional hangups/momentary unresponsiveness.
- theg2 13y agoI take it you haven't tried PHPStorm then? We used NetBeans for a long time until we tried out PHPStorm and it is amazing how much better and faster it is.
- knieveltech 13y agoI was totally into netbeans until an update broke it in my environment (java issues)> I grudgingly switched to phpstorm about six months ago. Wouldn't even consider going back to netbeans now.
- broodbucket 13y agoNetBeans is pure Swing, so you can do some tinkering to pretty it up to your liking.
- rikf 13y agoHave you tried IntelliJ? I haven't used netbeans for years but for me IntelliJ is light years ahead of eclipse. I would be interested to hear from anybody who has tried both for a reasonable amount of time.
