I used PHPStorm and WebStorm for years, but I switched to VSCode.

VSCode simply has a bigger eco system and when new things come out, you can be sure that a VSCode extension exist for it. Same rason why I use JavaScript, when new tech comes out, chances are good that a way exist to interact with it via JS.

Also, with the latest trend in cloud IDEs (AWS Cloud9, GitHub Codespaces, etc.) I think most classic IDEs are a thing of the past anyway. Usually, I fire up one of these and don't even have something installed on my local machine anymore.
