Review Time
Have been using PHPstorm for 10+ years for PHP development and DB management and comparing it to IDEs from another vendors it seems to be most convenient and feature-full for me. Sometimes I do have trouble with project reindexing, but the good working strategy is to skip the update for a couple of months and do it only after a few patches :) The last thing that significantly improved my workflow is the HTTP client and its development in recent IDE versions. So for a reasonable price you can get an instrument that successfully replaces a bunch of others, but is not overloaded with useless features at the same time.
Excellent company, fantastic tools that just works and make you really productive. I also asked for a financial help from jetbrains as I wanted to keep using Jetbrains Academy for upskilling but since I have to pay two rent at the same time it was a bit difficult for me to pay immediatly for an other annual subscription. They understood my situation and gave me 3 month for free. This is really appreciated.
Although JetBrains ReSharper is a useful product, there is a really annoying and time wasting problem with their software that was first raised 14 years ago and has not been resolved.JetBrains have basically refused to address the issue which would be really simple for them to fix. If they don't care about their products then neither do I.
Every time I try and fix an issue with something in a JetBrains product, it is so difficult. They hide everything that the tool does from you, the documentation is awful because it only gives the easiest happy path answers.Stop using big clunky tools from Jetbrains and move on to better software.
I'm a new customer and let me write about what you would expect from JetBrains.First thing, they offer 30 days trial on their IDEs. This is really nice because it is more than enough time to evaluate the IDE. It was enough for me to consider getting a year of subscription after the trial ended.I had some questions regarding the IDE itself (technical) and about getting a subscription but for a different email. All questions have been answered (via email) within 1 business day, sometimes faster. Their customer support not only answers inquiries, they also provide helpful links for further reading if you'd need to. To me, that's top-notch customer support.Regarding the IDE itself, I'm shocked that this beast runs like it's not a heavyweight. It starts within a few seconds. To be honest, comparing to VS Code, I don't see much difference in performance, and JetBrains' IDEs are packed with so much productivity features that I consider it a heavyweight.I also liked the fact that when I used another account (logged out the old account and logged in with a new one), it retained the settings of the IDE. I was scared that it would reset the IDE settings because I switched to a new account.My favorite features of JetBrains IDE:1. Find Usage / Go to Declaration- this works even on a dynamic type language like PHP. Really helpful especially for large projects!2. Inspect/Analyze Code- this is without a doubt my most favorite feature. This alone is worth the subscription!3. Retains current IDE settings even when you logged in with a new account- removes the pain of reconfiguring the IDE again. It can even sync to your other devices!4. Easy to switch accounts5. Powerful plugins- I think every useful plugin exists in JetBrains! You can also easily disable plugins you don't need.6. Perpetual Fallback License- if you subscribe for at least 12 months, you'll automatically get a PFL. There are just times that you're too broke and won't be able to renew, no problem, you can keep using the IDE.Conclusion:I definitely recommend JetBrains IDEs especially if you're a professional. They just make programming a lot easier! You won't need any other IDE, everything is here. Easily worth the subscription.Keep it up JetBrains Team!
