It's definitely a joke with people who know, but - for what I was doing - it was legitimately the tool that worked the best. I will admit that I have a different viewpoint now than I did five years ago in a lot of ways, and being candid, I actually preferred Dreamweaver back then. I'm not angry, primarily because I don't really care if someone I don't know doesn't think I'm competent at my job. I understand that your intent was not to insult, but I'm sure you can understand why I find it insulting when someone says that I am not a "real programmer" just because I prefer another tool. I imagine that an IDE might be better if you have a lot of projects/products to work on? I've only worked in environments where we primarily support one product. I have one codebase to learn/maintain, and a team of 70 to get support from (as well as provide support myself). We primarily have one codebase for our product, and while we are just starting to move to a microservice framework, very little is actually moved over. Is that how most of your work goes? I'm making an assumption that you typically work on different projects, like in an agency setting with multiple clients? To me, an 80 hour project is simply a sprint cycle. You make reference to a "very large backend project" that is 80 hours. Like the guy who also responded to your post, I prefer to use the tool that I find the most effective rather than one tool that can do most of what I want. Thats very possible it might not apply to everyone. I'm not the only one in this thread even that prefers Sublime Text, and that isn't going to change because of a keyboard warrior like you. Unless there are other opinions that you want to push out there to seem more competent, I'd really like you to stop posting here. I get you prefer IDEs and won't every hire me if I interview for a position in your company and say that I prefer Sublime Text. If you can't answer my question about whether there is better support for it, then I don't see why you're responding. I'm not saying that using an IDE is wrong, or right, or better, or worse I'm saying my editor of choice is Sublime Text. Plus, I use a lot of the batch edits it can do to rewrite a SQL query or do some basic reporting. Yes, it does help sometimes, but its usually pretty obvious.

Yes, XDebug support is better, but I've been here long enough that I don't really need to fully execute code in order to (usually) find whats wrong when a bug ticket may come in or something. I will definitely admit that I am more comfortable with Sublime Text 3, but I don't see a compelling reason to change.

I also use both another GUI for complicated commits or the terminal for simple ones. The individuals on my team here who use PHPStorm always edit using PHPStorm and then either go to the terminal to commit or use another GUI (like Tower). I don't know if it can be used to do VCS, but I wouldn't use it even if it could. It can also give code hints as I write code. Sublime can automatically refactor to PSR* guidelines on save, open, etc. I'm not arguing that Sublime Text 3 can do everything that PHPStorm can do, as that would be absurd I'm simply saying that Sublime Text can do everything I need it to do in order to do my job as a "real programmer". He works on cars, and has everything he needs to get his work done.

He doesn't have all the tools to work on a plane or a train, but he doesn't need them since he doesn't use them. To use an analogy like yours, I would compare it to an auto-mechanic that just has tools for working on cars. All of them have worked wonderfully, with the only exception so far being XDebug.
#Sublime text 3 php install
It's just simple, doesn't get in your way, and helps in all the ways I want and if I wanted something even remotely in the IDE arena (like SQL beautifers), then I can install those extensions. And so does half the company here, including our CTO. I am a "real programmer" and I definitely prefer Sublime Text. I would hardly say that anyone who uses Sublime Text is automatically not a "real programmer".

I don't think the issue is your bluntness, as I am a very blunt person myself sometimes, but rather your condescending tone.
