minus-squareBaldur Nillinkfedilink1•edit-22 months agoGood point. This was the only thing that stood out to me as “really?”. Although I’d also think that’s the only modern IDE focused on PHP, isn’t it?

You can get a pretty good IDE-like experience in VS Code too (not anywhere near as good as a Jetbrains IDE though). But yeah, PHPStorm is by far the best.
