Until four months ago I used PHPStorm although I haven't typed a line of PHP code in at least 4 years. Since all my coding is with TypeScript I decided to switch to VSCode and not renew my Idea subscription.
The only feature I miss is the local history. It is nice to be able to aggressively hash out code to solve a complicated problem and revert to the state 1 minute, 5 minutes, or 20 minutes ago or at least look at the diff.
When I juggle between vim, sublime, VS Code and PHPStorm/IDEA. I tend to come back to IDEA for any project bigger than a few files since the after the indexing the refactor, code analysis, search and auto import functionality is so reliable that I just love the ease of use. I still have the free education license and a company license so I am not sure whether I’d pay for JetBrains out of my own pocket but difference in the tooling is night and day, it’s much more robust and quicker to get stuff done than VS Code in my experience
