I use NetBeans for PHP development for last 10 years, and never regretted it. It has plenty of features that save my time when it comes to code navigation, also since circa 2012 Java got considerably faster on Linux, so almost no lag is perceived. It's great news that Apache finally added PHP support back to it because I'm still on 8.2. As for other IDEs, sometimes I use Kate with Projects plugin (it allows to grep all filenames that are in version control) for quick edits. All KFramework-based tools feel much faster than Gnome or Java-based ones, but Kate has a set of show-stopper "not-a-bug" issues (like shitty tab handling) which make it inusable for uninterrupted, productive work.

P.S. Can't say much about Apache, but when I submitted a ticket to old NetBeans about high CPU usage in some version-control-related scenarios - that was back in 2013 - the ticket was closed and issue was fixed less than in a week. I never expected such agility from projects of this scale.
