As someone with 20+ years of experience in REAL coding, I feel Im ready to write this.

Problem is: every IDE out there has flaws. These flaws are either deliberately introduced (by motherfuckers like nikita popov from that shit php.net ), or as a form of mistake.

Thats why many REAL world developers (myself included) outed fully fledged IDEs long ago. They are totally ok with many standalone apps rather than one all-in-one kind.

Im not saying that IDEs are all bad. There are some good ones, but what they have in common, is that authors try to force users ( developers ) into specific thinking way ( sometimes called their way ) and, finally, to take user’s freedom away from developer. I dont like this.

So what I use? This. Self-hosted. It even has builtin IDE ( visual studio code) of sorts. For free. No hidden costs, in-app purchases, or other shady tactics.
