i switched from jetbrains products and never looked back, i started with buying phpstorm and it worked for around a year, then there was an ugly bug introduced which almost 4 years later hasnt even been attempted to be resolved, the devs just blame the users. the stupid ide on linux always tries to index the entire drive, last time i attempted it ~ 6 months ago i just let it try to index came back from work waited and still 15 hours later it was still retarded, uninstall update to latest version, and still there, theres literally thousands of comments on this bug. the bottom line is that company makes so much money they arent interested in fixing the core problems with phpstorm one of which is regex replacing,. which is so slow it crashes the ide due to the java vm, apparantly it has some probe with large regexs.
