What to use for layout + programming - IDE or text editor?

Question

IDE

I recently decided to completely revise my work tools. I am engaged in layout + programming (mainly php and js). Those. I make websites, starting with the layout and ending with the engine.
I used different editors for layout and programming, for layout Adobe Dreamveawer (I used the code part for writing code, the visual part for quickly finding the right blocks), for programming - ZendStudio. Now, listening to older comrades and reading the Internet, I realized that I need to revise my toolkit, because. DW, as I understand it, professional layout designers do not use it at all, and ZendStudio is also not held in high esteem.
In general, Sublime and phpStorm appear most of all on the Internet now. There are many different opinions on where and how to work. I settled on these two names. But I never came to a final opinion of what I still need from this, because. the first is just a powerful text editor (with a bunch of plugins), the second is a full-fledged IDE.
So, after all, what is more correct and more efficient to use for layout and programming. For both IDEs or for layout - sublime, and for prog. - phpStorm.

Answer 1

Considering that in most normal projects, the layout is done in a template engine ... then definitely an IDE. That Sublime Text, that TextMate, that Adobe Brackets, that Atom - they are all of course beautiful, but .... no one will ever replace IntelliSense, code inspection and docks. Yes, and everything else. This is if you have a one-page business card site, you don’t have to bother, and then, I would argue with that ... but if there are at least two pages, and they are generated on the backend or even on the frontend, it’s definitely an IDE. And even more so if you do not work alone. If CVS is on and you need to make literally minor edits on your knee, where you clearly understand that nothing will fall off (for example, a typo in string, although it’s better to just edit the previous commit), you can correct it with any of the named text editors and send a commit.

Answer 2

Once upon a time I worked in text editors. Then I switched to NetBeans - like a breath of fresh air. Then I tried the trial version of phpStrom, was completely delighted and stayed on it. Now I can’t even imagine how you can seriously engage in development without a normal IDE.
But why do you need someone else's opinion in this case? Install Sublime (if you haven't worked in it yet), and install phpStorm - they have a 30-day trial - and compare, taste for yourself how they differ. In what will be more comfortable, on that and stay.

Answer 4

Something to quickly edit - Sublime. Or minor edits via ftp.
For long tasks already phpStorm =)

I use NetBeans, I type in it, then I implement the layout, it works great.
Text editor only for minor edits on FTP.
