And again about PHP IDE. What do you advise?

Question

linux

I know that the question of choosing a PHP IDE has been discussed here many times. But still I wanted to hear advice on what to use in 2021. Preferably not in JAVA, because sometimes you have to work on an old laptop with a Core i5-2410m / 8Gb / SSD. It is also desirable that it be under both Windows and Linux - on my working computer I have Windows 10, and on my laptop Ubuntu 20. I still use phpDesigner 8, the latest version of which was released in 2013, after which, unfortunately, the developer abandoned his child. Although I have not yet seen anything faster and more convenient, although I have tried many different IDEs: Eclipse, phpStorm, phpEd, Atom. But none of them can compare in terms of convenience with phpDesigner. phpEd turned out to be the closest in terms of features and speed. But it's missing one feature that I use a lot: the ability to automatically highlight the code of the entire function / HTML tag. And also he does not know how to work with SFTP. Rather, it can, but does not support some types of encryption, which is why it is impossible to connect to many servers that use the type that is not in phpDesigner. Therefore, there is a need to find a replacement. Not necessarily free (for example, I have a license for phpDesigner for two workplaces).

So what is needed:

• Syntax highlighting (obviously, all IDEs have this feature)
  
• Code hint via phpDoc, or with the ability to add libraries (this is very conveniently implemented in Atom, but unfortunately, Atom itself is very inconvenient)
  
• Support for multiple projects / workspaces
  
• Support for FTP, SFTP, local/network directories and files
  

I will be grateful for advice.

Answer 1

phpstorm.

Answer 2

Try vs code + intellisense (not to be confused with intellisense). remarkable speed of indexing changes for tooltips.
sftp via extension.
In general, vs code is similar to atom, but faster (well optimized). And yes, it's not technically an IDE.

Answer 3

eclipse, with due red-eye, it tunes in, the functionality, it seems to me, is the most complete here, the usual buttons are reconfigured, there are inconveniences, but it seems to me not critical.
ps complaining about slow java could be on machines 8-10 years ago, but not now

Answer 4

Notepad++

Answer 5

What is phpide for? It's an interpreter. An editor with syntax recognition is sufficient.
