I thought I’d post a quick word about PhpStorm, a new programmer’s editor that has just been released as version 1.0
It was featured on Nettuts a while ago while still in Beta, so I decided to give it a try.

Also, there is WebStorm which is specific for front end development, but PhpStorm has the same features plus PHP support. So for WordPress developers it’s recommended to get PhpStorm.

Anyway the price is 39$ for WebStorm and 59$ for PhpStorm, so I’m not sure if they’ll sell many licences for WebStorm.

The best features are:

• Native integration of Zen Coding, which allows to rapidly code HTML
• Version control (git,subversion,…)
• Automatic synchronization of remote files (see this screencast for a detailed explanation)
• code completion for php, css, html, js
• javascript debugging

and more!

I’m still discovering the many features that it offers. I’ve been waiting for such an IDE for a long time. And it’s really a bargain, 59$ until September.
