How to switch from PhpStorm to Sublime Text?

Question

phpstorm

I use PhpStorm for frontend development and would like to try Sublime Text. (not the first sight interested).
And just a few questions:

• Should I install stable 2nd or can I immediately install the 3rd version?
• What plugins would you recommend for frontend and php?
• Also interested in the project manager. PhpStorm has it quite convenient, but Sublime, as I understand it, does not have it at all.

Answer 1

Um, switching from an IDE to an editor is somehow strange, nothing more than a downgrade. Yes, you can install plugins, but it still won't reach the level of PhpStorm. At the same time, some plugins do not work very well, some (which I need) do not exist at all. I recommended to install ST3 and use it in conjunction with PhpStorm.

Answer 2

For the frontend, I would recommend Brackets (because of the features with psd/livepreview/quickedit) or Atom + gulp-type builder with ftp configured.
My list of plugins is for ST3 version 3065 (almost 90% of them are the same for Atom and Brackets, so convenience is everywhere).
All of them have the same plugins for the frontend, and all are special in their own way, for the frontend I would choose brackets because. these three possibilities that are described in brackets above are too op :D I tried all these editors and I like Atom the most, but I didn’t find a working s ftp plugin in it and I had to use gulp for this (ftp / ftps work ok).
If interested, I'll throw off plugins for Brackets.
ps all these editors are quite suitable forphp because after installing fabpot-php-cs-fixer , phpmd , php_codesniffer and setting them up, all three of these editors turn into a full-fledged ide.
There is only one function that drastically drives phpStorm , this is ctrl + clicking on a function that looks for its call or definition or application throughout the project (I found a similar feature in the atom and in st3 but did not check it in the project, it looks for 100% in the file!).
In terms of startup speed, phpStorm -> brackets -> atom -> st3 is the fastest.
About projects, there are in all and it's not hard to do.
