### Pros

"Honestly it goes well beyond what people call a plain text editor; it kinda feels like an intelligent assistant that actually gets the structure of my frameworks, such as Laravel and Symfony ."

"The native hookup with Xdebug is pretty seamless too, so debugging even more complex backend applications becomes almost straightforward."

"I love the debugging tools, the remote file view, the ability to edit a remote file, and linking to github to name but a few"

### Cons

"Killing all the open instances and running processes inside it (like Coding agents etc.)"

"The application crash and freezes in startup screen on windows 11 WSL with ubuntu distribution."

"It’s a subscription-based paid IDE, which may be expensive compared to free editors like VS Code."
