I tried to show him how a good IDE with tons of features could suit his needs even better than this… Vim thing! Without success, I let him swimming in his ocean of mistakes, sad he couldn’t see the Truth as I was. How can he compares the wonderful shiny PhpStorm with this relic?Īt that point, I went in a crusade. Vim! This dinosaur! This boring terminal editor! So complex nobody knows how to use it, except the perfect nerd without life / girlfriend / whatever real things!
“I don’t use PhpStorm” said the newcomer.
I was curious, I began to look what tools and IDE he was using, expecting seeing the good old PhpStorm, like every good PHP developer who suffered too much with Eclipse. He was a PHP developer hired in the company I was working for. It was a newcomer who first showed me Vim. Then I will compare the two and underline what Vim brings on the table. I loved its numerous options to refactor, generate getter / properties / methods using one or two handy shortcuts.įirstly, I want to tell you my story with Vim and PhpStorm in order for you to understand how you can switch between the two.
I loved the auto completion with PhpStorm! I loved the fact that you could find easily a peculiar file even within a massive codebase. We are all used to that from the beginning of times! You use a mouse, you click where you want to change or add something, somewhere. Its basic rules was simple, as simple as many text editor in the computing world. I discovered the true love of my live, called Vim.Īre you confused? Are you yelling “why” to the deaf sky? What happened between PhpStorm and me? Why a PHP developer would use this… old smelly thing called Vim? I thought I would use it all my life, happily without looking at any other editor. Once upon a time, PhpStorm was the IDE I loved. , updated Twitter #Vim #Tools #Mouseless #PHP How did I Replace PhpStorm by Vim in my Heart
