[Hidden-tech] PHPStorm , Netbeans, or something else

[Robert Heller]

*I* don't use an 'IDE'.  For most programming, they tend to get in the way 
(really).  I use a plain old text editor (Micro Emacs) to edit code (C, C++, 
Tcl, PHP, HTML, CSS, FORTRAN, whatever).

WYSIWYG editing of HTML is actually quite silly.  HTML was specificly 
*designed* to NOT be WYSIWYG -- the idea is that different browsers on 
different "screens" (any not-screens) will "display" ("render") a HTML page 
differently, and that includes text-to-speech (eg no actual screen) rendering.

Yes, with style sheets and HTML5 and JavaScript, one can highly control the 
display, but even then, things will not be exact from screen to screen, device 
to device, browser to browser.
