back in 2016 i was a phpstorm lover, but then a very very bad bug appeared, if the ide crashed it would index your entire home directory, including the phpstorm cache, this caused an infinite loop and nothing was usable, this issue still exists and theres over 1000 comments on the bug report for that specific issue, they arent even interested in fixing. so i said to myself im not paying for indexing when it goes on for 4 hrs at a time, causing me to fix the config file or just reinstall, it was just too much technical debit, and caused me serious issues with my employer.
so now i use vscode 100'%, its less buggy, kinda frustrating (nothing compared to phpstorm)
and i am no longer a php dev, just lotsa legacy php projects im converting to erlang.
thank gid im no longer a php dev, the amout of batshit crazy stuff ive seen in 20 years of php is mind boggeling.!!
