PhpStorm kills any love to programming being absolutely slow and buggy, i have to use it only because my company has own plugin with out framework in mind. My freelance projects are all VSCode only!
Well, i’m a Mac user, when you add too much plugins to PhpStorm (i use several - php intellisense, our enterprise plugins, git, couple of others) with time it begins to eat tooo way much of memory, especially when you dive into a deep folders. Perhaps we’re all have different preferences, i don’t know but sometimes it’s really making me mad and i switch to text editors and VSCode lol
Across Windows, Linux, and Macos PhpStorm has been stable for me except for on my older MacBooks (2019) where my main problem was overheating. On an M1 loaded up with plugins looking at a large codebase it's smooth and stable. But I don't think I should need to spend so much resources on an editor so I have moved to spending most of my time in some flavor of Vim and I keep running out of reasons to open up a large IDE anymore. But as I replace functionality with bash scripts and plugins in Vim I start to wonder if I'm just moving bloat from one place to another.

That's crazy to hear, I heard multiple people state it's slow.
Wonder why it's like that for some, and the opposite for others? 🤯

Oh ok, thanks for elaborating on that.
I'm surprised they haven;'t built-in intellisense as that's the main focus.
But glad to see VSC does the trick for you. 🙏
Php intellisense is a third-party plugin yes..
