Ask HN: is PHPstorm worth the price, over Aptana?

[matponta]

Do you think PHPstorm (http://www.jetbrains.com/phpstorm/) is worth the price (yes, it actually costs money) over a free IDE, say Aptana?

[dancryer]

I would say yes. PHP Storm, if nothing else, is a lot more system friendly for me than any other IDE I have tried (incl. Aptana, Zend Studio, Netbeans, etc.)

[vilmosioo]

Definitely. JetBrains have the best IDEs out there and you save a lot of time developing.

So it's CHEAPER to pay for PHPStorm.

[matponta]

Yes, you cheap!

[matponta]

Not at all!

[matponta]

Yes, barely
