There are massive differences between individual IDEs. I’ve used Eclipse a couple of times and hated it, but then loved using WebStorm and PHPStorm.

VS code has improved massively in the last year and now has many features of an IDE so I think the lines between them are becoming more blurred.

I use PHPStorm at work as they pay the licence and VS Code at home as its free. Both have benefits, but in my opinion, overall you get what you pay for and PHPStorm is a much better overall product.

This makes a lot of sense. I’m paying myself even for the individual version, just because I want to support the development of the product in ways I can.
