About

The Lightning-Smart PHP IDE. PhpStorm deeply understands your code. PhpStorm is perfect for working with Symfony, Laravel, Drupal, WordPress, Zend Framework, Magento, Joomla!, CakePHP, Yii, and other frameworks. The editor actually 'gets' your code and deeply understands its structure, supporting all the PHP language features for modern and legacy projects. It provides the best code completion, refactorings, on-the-fly error prevention, and more. Make the most of the cutting edge front-end technologies, such as HTML 5, CSS, Sass, Less, Stylus, CoffeeScript, TypeScript, Emmet, and JavaScript, with refactorings, debugging, and unit testing available. See the changes instantly in the browser thanks to Live Edit. Perform many routine tasks right from the IDE, thanks to the Version Control Systems integration, support for remote deployment, databases/SQL, command-line tools, Docker, Composer, REST Client, and many other tools.

About

Rune is a fast, keyboard-driven IDE for power users that brings code, terminals, CLI tools, language intelligence, debugging, and AI agents into one composable, multi-workspace environment. Built around the Unix way, it keeps powerful development tools close together without forcing developers into a mouse-heavy workflow. Rune ships with three built-in editing modes, a standard editor for users coming from VS Code, Cursor, or Sublime; modal editing for Vim and Neovim users; and an Emacs-style editor, with keybindings applied throughout the interface. Workspaces combine files, terminals, tasks, debugging, search, and language intelligence, and can run locally or on remote machines. Rune Agent lives in the same workspace as the code, where it can read and edit files, search the codebase, run commands, use tools, and maintain full conversations. It supports OpenAI, Codex, Anthropic, Claude, Gemini, Amazon Bedrock, local models, and custom OpenAI-compatible endpoints.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Clean and customizable interface. Multiple themes and color schemes for personal preference. Simple yet powerful layout for managing files, tools, and navigation. Support for multiple project views and easy file navigation.
  • - The auto-suggestion feature is quite accurate and comes very handy while coding on a big project. - The color themes can be easily customizable according to the user preference. - It supports Git and version control. - It in built assistance feature helps in highlighting errors and give suggestions in real-time.
  • Debugging from browser. Decent support, responsive and to the point. Some search features are good once you learn to use them.
  • Php lacks many advanced IDE like other popular languages but PhpStorm definitely fills the void. It supports all major frameworks and features intelligent autocomplete that understands your code. It has built in developer tools and database support for even most advanced php development. It is also quite affordable for enterprise development.
  • Easy to use & user friendly interface. Autocomplete feature. In-app terminal & ssh support. Supports front end HTML , CSS & JS files. Tons of customization options. Add-ons to support different PHP frameworks.

Cons

  • The sheer number of features and options might overwhelm new users. Some UI elements may seem cluttered when working with larger projects, but this can be customized.
  • - The code initialization and debugging takes a lot of time. - It can be sluggish sometimes when compiling a large code base.
  • A lot. I've thought I'd switch over from phpEd, but honestly, the time I'm spending on trying to figure out how to disable these annoying automatic things, and the amount of time I'm spending communicating with the support is insane. I've easily lost days worth of work-time already. It does a lot of things to "help"; but they don't help but hinder. Some of it can be disabled, some can not. But even those that can be disabled; good luck finding these. Also the key shortcuts are rather weird so plenty of time to reconfigure those. The lack of ability to fold comments only, or open to methods only; no helping this. Then there's the error highlighting; it highlights essentially whole files, just because it just cannot figure out either the smarty syntax(!), or the code structure. There are plenty more, I'm not going to bother to detail it all out. There are things that are in the dev queue for many years now, some would help - but it seems these will never get done.
  • Unlike other tools from Jetbrains it has no Community edition, so beginners or individual users might consider that as a big con.
  • Expensive yearly price. Resource Intensive - takes long time to load.
