Not gonna lie... I might rejoin the VSCode group soon.

PHPStorm is great, but... just feels so sluggish for what I get out of it.

The incoming VSC Laravel extension will likely be a great Laravel IDEA equivalent, and with some decent extension setup and better keybindings VSC can achieve most of the same functionality as the rest of PHPStorm.

Especially if you're used to using the CLI for things like git, tests, etc.

I may give another shot at VSCode as well, especially to try the Laravel extension. I am, however, closely monitoring the progress of Zed which look promising.

zed.dev

After installing zed months ago I reopened it again and tryied to work using it. It hapilly surprised me how much it can do, I think it improved a lot. Is still worse than vscoded and phpstorm, but it's not useless anymore. for quick code reading or small features can be a good code editor I think

I'm also using it to quickly open text files, as an alternative to `nano`, if I may say so. But it is not yet at the level required for the type of work I need to do at the moment. I hope it will be improved quickly; I really liked Atom, which is somewhat the predecessor of Zed.
