I used Netbeans for the prior 3 years, and really loved it. It was free, snappier than eclipse, and had tons of functionality. One downside with it was it would lag pretty bad sometimes, randomly. When you would try and use the autocomplete, it would take up to a minute (this was a big project), and then it would go back to working normally, and autocomplete for the next 15 min or so would be snappy.
About six months ago, while it was having one of these brain farts, I decided to look into other editors. I did the 30 day trial for PHPStorm, and was completely sold after a couple of days using it. You can map the hotkey keymaps to different editors keymaps. I used the eclipse keymap that I'm most familar with, and was able to get up and running with it very quickly. It does cost money, but it's performance and extra functionality make it worth it to me. Those 1 minute lag times in Netbeans really were disruptive to my workday. I also think Netbeans comes with better themes than Netbeans. I personally like the dark themes, black on white, but of course I know everybody is different. -Sean Thayne On Tue, Jul 15, 2014 at 1:16 PM, Joseph Scott <[email protected]> wrote: > It has been awhile since I used PhpStorm, but my memory is that the > licenses are only good for one year.
