I've always been a fan of JetBrains' IDEs (Webstorm, Pycharm), so I would imagine that their PhpStorm is similarly excellent. (Each of the ones I mentioned are language-specific subsets of IntelliJ.)

PhpStorm I'd say [https://www.jetbrains.com/phpstorm]

Most of my work on a daily basis is PHP (Laravel) and I use Visual Studio Code as my main driver.

It's pretty good with Python too, which we have a little bit of (mostly Flask apps).

Do you have any good extension recommendations for VS Cocde as it relates to PHP development?

For code copletion I use PHP Intellisense but it still doesn't support multiple root folders in the same workspace. For debugging PHP Debug. vscode-php-cs-fixer and vscode-phpstan have helped a lot. In addition I use PHP Namespace Resolver and PHP DocBlocker. Lastly, PHP Getters & Setters may be useful.
