Discussion on: Which editor/IDE do you use and why?

I've been a stubborn holdout with Coda for a long while, not least because Panic make great software and I'd invested money in it already. I'd previously used Komodo Edit and Komodo IDE which at the time I chose over all (what seemed to me to be) sluggish Java based IDEs (Eclipse, Zend etc). But after years of using Coda 2 the continued lack of support for XDEBUG made me take another look at the market. I'd have switched back to Komodo IDE but it's expensive compared to PHPStorm (despite their recent unwelcome price restructure). Storm has all the features I miss from Komodo IDE. Atom is great for small projects but I found the more plugins I installed to restore proper IDE functionality just dragged it down to the point at which it became unuseable.
