In this section, I will share some of the basic settings I use for each project. I’ve been using it for a solid year or so and I’m constantly finding out about new features. Saying that PHPStorm is feature rich is a bit of an understatement. Hopefully, I’ll be able to do just that!Īlso, if you are a back-end developer, there’s a good chance you still might learn something new as well! Perhaps you are one of those who is on the fence about giving it a try and just need a little convincing. In this post, I want to share some of the key features I like about using PHPStorm from a front-end WordPress developer’s perspective.

SHOCKING, I know! Making a Case for PHPStorm On the IDE side of things, there is Coda and PHPStorm by JetBrains. It seems that most front-end developers steer clear from IDEs and lean more towards the more ‘lightweight’ code editors that have plugins for just about anything imaginable.Īs for me, I seem to be a bit of an anomaly, because I am a front-ender who has only ever used PHPStorm! As a disclaimer: Late last year I tried to make the switch to Atom, but that experiment only lasted a few days. It tends to be a very personal choice.Ī few popular editors in use these days are Sublime Text and Atom. As a developer, front-end or back-end, there is no lack of strong opinions on why or why not developers choose their text editor or IDE.
