![]() I've used PHPStorm ever since i started working professionally in PHP 3 years ago, yes it does provide a lot of help, no it doesn't make you forget how to track down a simple bug, people who say that are probably var_dumpers, and they are the ones who don't know how to track down bugs.įor any PHP development there's nothing better than PHPStorm, if you have something more complex than simple pages with about 2 or 3 Models i would really advise you to use an IDE instead of Sublime. It does take up to 200% CPU time (2 core) when Indexing my Play!/Java project, but it shouldn't take more than a minutes if you have executed Also, I gave more memory to Intellij Idea, JVM, that speeds up quit a bit.Įdit 2: After adding more memory to the VM, my Play! application actually executed faster. Memory usage is about 1.65gb, and CPU idle for 98% most of the time.Įdit: Maybe disabling Git support from PHPStorm might help your over performance. Keep up the good work, Matt, and thanks for making my job easier with WordPress.Am running OS X Yosemite on a i3 iMac 27" 4gb ram, with Sequel Pro, Play! Framework console, some node apps like (LESS compiler, http-server, etc.), Pixelmator, couple Terminal windows, Chrome (10~15 tabs), MAMP, MongoDB daemon, Sublime Text 2, iTunes and ForkLift. It’s not like you couldn’t justify the purchase of one of these sweet, sleek iMac 24’s in the name of product development, right? Even if it ended up gathering dust, at least you tried. It was stable on my mac, but I just wasn’t as efficient a worker in CS3 as I was now hand-coding – after only about 6 months without my beloved Dreamweaver! I never thought I’d say it – but coding by hand was actually easier. Just last week I had to turn out a movie trailer site very quickly. It’s very well thought out you aren’t thinking about using a tool, you’re just doing the job: you aren’t operating a hammer, you’re driving a nail – you’re building something. And that’s where Coda fits in so nicely – it’s really the perfect tool for the job – php and css editing and file transfer. But now that I’m using WordPress instead of building my own CMS’s, I really don’t NEED Dreamweaver. Coding HTML by hand was frustrating when Dreamweaver used to do it all for me. I imagine if you’re editing and managing PHP files for WordPress development you’ll find it up to the task. I’m not writing plugins, just modifying themes and other light work, but I’ve found Coda to be nothing short of the perfect tool for the job. We had a good relationship, and we still talk sometimes, but lately I’ve been spending a lot of time after hours in the loving arms of WordPress. Testing various CMS systems, I landed for awhile in Expression Engine. I wanted no part of Vista, so I bought an intel macbook pro and a copy of Coda and began the painful procedure of switching and handcoding (everything I had ever done in DW was using extensions and built-in server actions.) When Ultradev came out I was ecstatic – finally I could use MS Access databases to power dynamic websites! After building countless blogs and sites in ASP and a few in PHP I started getting tired of supporting all the CMS’s I’d built.Ībout this time, Vista was coming, and Coda for the mac was released. Matt, for the longest time I was a Dreamweaver/PC guy. Guess I don’t feel so bad for clinging to PC/DW for so many years. Were it not for the link to this article in my WordPress dashboard I would not have ever known. ![]() ![]() However, Eclipse really got me, and now I’m hooked.įirst of all, I’m really surprised that WordPress development occurs on a PC running Dreamweaver. I too, was once a die-hard user of “advanced” text editors like UltraEdit (did all my coding with it), and was hesitant to switch over to an IDE, which is typically used for compiled languages. Having integrated SVN access, and the ability to add/edit stuff on Trac within your IDE is a really nice feature that I simply couldn’t live without. ![]() The only thing I wish it had was advanced refactoring, but perhaps the Eclipse JDT (Java version), which I use at work, has spoiled me.īut perhaps the best part about Eclipse (besides being FOSS) is the large array of plugins available. Besides offering autocomplete of built-in PHP functions, it also does that for any functions/classes you’ve created. I’m currently using Eclipse PDT (PHP Development Tools – basically a version of Eclipse with all the “stuff” for PHP) and it’s great. Perhaps I’m being a bit dramatic, but Eclipse has changed my life. Here’s another enthusiastic vote for Eclipse, possibly the greatest IDE known to humanity.
