What is your opinion on best text editor for HTML, CSS, Javascript, PHP and SQL and with built in FTP?
Seriously in need of a good editor 😑

I believe you haven't yet tried or heard about Sublime Text.
Else, you can try Atom too!

@kabhishek I love SublimeText. The only problem is that I want FTP built in and could not find any free way to obtain that functionality.

Phpstorm

Vim doesn't have any of that but you can probably mod it to be just perfect for it

Definitely phpstorm ... best ide for php and web development. If you want more than a "simple editor" and are able to spend some bucks

@rhl2401 there's a brilliant FTP plugin for Sublime that works really well. Been using it for years. I highly recommend it. https://wbond.net/sublime_packages/...
It's totally worth the licence fee but the free trial never expires it just starts to nag at you a little occasionally.

@scroach @samwir
Nothing against PHPStorm, but it's a resource hog. That's why I switched to VSCode.

Just a hint: this is currently the best extension for PHP.

Plus this, and you're ready to go.

You can ignore all other extensions for PHP without hesitation.

@tracktraps i've got enough ram phpstorm can take it all 😂 Firefox and chrome use more... and it's just the best all in one solution I've ever had. And git integration is ❤

@scroach RAM is not the problem (64 GB). But everything is so awfully tough at PHPStorm once the project size has reached a certain level.

@tracktraps k - how many LOC are we talking about? But yeah most of my projects are only 1-3 persons so I never had problems with performance 😅 might think about splitting your projects into modules

IntelliJ IDEA is my daily IDE. I used to think Sublime Text was awesome (I still do) but IntelliJ is on another level. If you don't need the full flagship IDE buy PHPStorm instead.

Another vote for PHPStorm here

Brackets with ftp-plugin

@scroach current project: LOC 297719 total

I put in another vote for PHPStorm. Its pretty much FTP + Webstorm + DataGrip in one package. Free for students and open source projects.

@DeadInside It's worth to mention that IntelliJ IDEA always gets the newest features of PHPStorm a little later.

@tracktraps is this true? Seems a little wierd if so.

@heyheni if I could find a replacement for phpCompanion in particular find use & expand fqcn..

Then I would be very interested in vscode

@DeadInside Yes, indeed.

IntelliJ FAQ:
While PHP, Python and Ruby IDEA plug-ins are built from the same source code as used in PhpStorm, PyCharm and RubyMine, product release cycles are not synchronized. It means that some features may be already available in the lighter products, but not available in IDEA plug-ins at certain periods, they are added with the plug-in and IDEA updates later.

@tracktraps oh okay then. Thanks.

Dreamweaver! Oh, wait...

@mikedev ++ for warming up a more than dead corpse :)

@lotd sorry i've got no idea what you are asking, i'm a designer 😕
Can anybody answer lodts question please?

For me it's PHPStorm for any serious project. SublimeText for everything else like quickly editing a file, testing language behavior or coding very small projects...

I like Atom too, but never really found a good reason to definitely replace ST by it. Does anyone has tested their new IDE plugin ? I tried for like 5 min, felt like PHPStorm is still more advanced on that. Any thoughts about it ?

I kove notepad++

@JeniEm Forget it - no - completely erase it from your mind.

This is the worst piece of crap software for web design. The editor sucks. The preview sucks. Language support sucks. Everything about it sucks.

Forget it.

@JeniEm Dreamweaver isn't all that bad, they integrated Brackets into it in 2015/16 and overhauled the entire interface and everything...
Used it for some time, it's definitely alright, but other tools still are much better.
(VSCode all the way, personally :D)

@21stCenturyJoku It is bad. Well, brackets. I don't know a single developer using brackets. The integration into Dreamweaver is a joke, in my opinion.

Atom(free) texteditor, Code(free) texteditor, PhpStorm($) IDE
