PHPStorm Or VSCode For Drupal Developers?

PHPStorm is a longstanding PHP IDE that has been extremely useful in the transition to OOP in Drupal 8.

VSCode is a recent IDE gaining in popularity, with a lot of support for PHP.

PHP costs $99 in the first year, $79 for the second, and $59 after that. VSCode is free, but can take some time to figure out which plugins you need.

 

What Drupal support are we looking for?

Code completion - Autocompletion on chained commands, services, etc.

File recognition - .module, .theme, etc.

Services - Detect service class from string for code completion.

Helpers - Config schema, routing, etc.
