Thats true, Im a vs code user myself but after moving from js to laravel I found that PHP storm is much better to work with laravel than vs code

I especially love the git interface in PHPStorm. It's the part that prevents me more from switching back to VSCode. I tried Git Graph and GitLens as well, but nothing beats the PHPStorm git GUI imho.

I use PHPStorm primarily but there will soon be an official VS Code plugin from the Laravel team, so that will help to make the experience better in VS Code.
