The storm has come with PHPStorm!
Overall Satisfaction with PhpStorm
PhpStorm is being used by the technical department. Having hundreds of files per project, PhpStorm makes it easy to find such files as it scans each project folder and indexes it accordingly. This helps also with keeping to one type of coding structure. We utilize PHP language, and by name, PhpStorm was built to handle just about anything PHP.
Pros
- Code completion
- UI Theming
- Indexing of existing repositories
- Git, Terminal, SSH connections are easy to manage
- Deployment by Remote Host
Cons
- Memory hogging
- Project structure when attaching to another opened project is not intuitive to find resolution
- Markdown setup
- The license fee of PhpStorm, for our business, is outweighed by time saved ( payroll costs ) as it makes coding that much easier to accomplish
- Not having to worry about the 'givens' in the code, is such a time saver, that I am not sure your could put a savings number against that... but, if I had to guess, I would think you could save an hour or two each day, just by the default settings within PHPStorm, no matter what language you are coding.
- Notepad++
Notepad++ is exactly that, notepad on steriods. However, PHPStorm was designed specifically for PHP ( my language of choice ) and thus, common settings that I would have to tailor within Notepad++ ( ever time an update comes out, which is very often ), do not have to get reset often at all.
