I use both Zed and JB. The thing with the jetbrains stuff is (1) it costs money and (2) you only need the fancy refactoring features occasionally. With modern LSP you can “find usages” and “goto definition” and you get live symbol completion and documentation in Zed just as naturally as JB. Zed covers 98% of your editing needs. A proper Debugger would be awesome, I use JB for debugging every time.



I work with PHP and even the commercial LSPs are not even remotely up to par with PhpStorm’s capabilities.
