Great Review, thanks. PHPStorm, excellent acquisition.
I use VSC and Netbeans after I purchased CodelobsterIDE, PhpED and RapidPHP.

Obviously, you are independently wealthy.

I do remember you mentioning Codelobster and PhpED to me.

I would like to...
Right now I cannot afford PHPStorm.

I use laragon for wordpress development and VSCode IDE. Intelephense is great. Debugger works excellent. I have great snippets, multicolumn edit, multi cursor, PHPStan, COdeSniffer etc., etc.

I use laragon for wordpress development...

Thanks for that tip about laragon. Installing a WAMP stack is just a few items down on my to do list and it appears that laragon is a much simpler solution than the stacks I used before.

Glad to be helpful.
Laragon is more advanced then ather solutions.
SSL, easy to create virtual hosts...
Very easy to install PHP 7.4.x

Will, I can't wait for PHPStorm review.

Will, I can't wait for PHPStorm review.

Well, in all fairness I won't mention that here. I'm not even suggesting that I'll do one. Frankly, it's more likely that I will write about Visual Studio Code first; I've been using it heavily for the past few weeks. But again, this is a forum about Blumentals' products, not about others, so I won't mention any review of VSC here, either.

Remember, my goal is not to replace Rapid PHP. My goal is to replace Expression Web.

I do understand. As always, I'll keep an eye on fastie.com

Will, Thanks a lot for VSC - FL.
What about Intelephense ?
It is better than Intellisense.
When activate intelephense, In settings.json use:
"php.suggest.basic": false

That eliminates more than one suggestion for the same statement.

Thanks a lot for VSC - FL.

When you said you'd be on the lookout for it, you really meant it. I'm being stalked!

What about Intelephense ?

I'll give it another look. Some time ago I tried both Becker's and Newburn's extensions and at the time I thought Becker's was better.

I'm not going to continue this discussion here because we're not talking about a Blumentals product. I will be glad to continue via email.

Will, I appreciate your expertise.
I'll use email.
But when I see such a large amount of spam on this forum, I'm starting to think the owners don't care.
