Imo, php storm.
I've tried dozens of plug-ins on VS Code but none allow you to get to a level similar to that offered by php storm.

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.

They said an initial release should be coming out sometime this month.
For pesonal and smaller projects VSCode. for large codebases and colloborative work PHPStorm

love phpstorm intelligent features and laravel idea plugin but hate their slowness and memory ineficiency
its just been suited for PHP, the refactoring tools, once you get used to them, there is no going back.
Cursor! Essentially, VS Code with a built in AI assistant - you can choose which LLM to use. I find it better than using copilot and the Jetbrains AI. I've also got a ton of different plugins helping me out to bring all the features of PHPStorm that I liked, but keeping it feeling fast and lightweight.
