Code editors and browsers

VS Code​

A versatile and probably the most used editor in the world at the moment. It's free and has tons of useful plugins you can use. Super useful, especially when writing JS code.

JetBrains IDEs (Webstorm/PHPStorm)​

Probably the most powerful IDE for writing any kind of PHP code out there. It's a fully fledged IDE that comes with Version Control Systems integration, support for remote deployment, databases/SQL, command-line tools, Docker, Composer, REST Client, and many other tools.

When it comes to any kind of PHP refactoring, PhpStorm is the king.

"Lightweight VSCode".

Like VS Code, Sublime is an excellent IDE with plethora of plugins, and add-ons.

Atom​

Before VS Code, there was Atom. It's a versatile editor that you can customize to your liking. It's so popular that it inspired icon sets for both VS Code and PhpStorm

Vim, Nano​

If you live in a terminal, the chances are you are using either Vim or Nano. You probably heard about people being unable to exit Vim. It's not that hard, so you have no reason to fear it 😄 (tutorial here!).

Browsers​

Use anyone except an Internet Explorer and an old Safari.
