phpStorm is the only IDE that i've really used, and i love it. I can't believe it took me this long to get on board. I tried eclipse but found it extremely frustrating but almost everything about Storm was completely intuitive.
I really like the version control integration and HUGE list of plugins. the default version control code highlighting makes it very easy to find bugs and track coworker changes. It also helps keep our commits clean (so that we aren't marking sections as modified when we didn't actually mean to change anything). Our designers use some other software and are constantly committing files with lots of non-changes, which makes it really hard to pinpoint changes and find bugs. We use mustache and the mustache plugin has been wonderful. It also has a really good mysql/postgresql/etc editor built in. If you set up your db credentials it will autocomplete/validate sql statements and you can inspect the table structure (and get index details) while editing your code. It is $99 per year for personal (self employed, etc) use. I don't think that you can keep using the software once your subscription expires. I would much rather pay for something that works the way that I want it to than find something 'free' that takes me several hours to set up. If storm can save me just 4 hours of work time over the course of the year than it has paid for itself... Just my thoughts (sorry, gmail likes to reply to the last message in the conversation instead of the thread... this was sent a few hours ago) On Tue, Jul 15, 2014 at 1:20 PM, Aaron Luman <[email protected]> wrote: > phpStorm is the only IDE that i've really used, and i love it.
