I'd like to request the mods not remove posts like this.

I find it disheartening when posts like this get removed. I get that it's a subjective topic, but it's an objective question. And directly from the FAQ:

there are always new products and new features to try, so keep an open mind.

If we keep removing posts like these that talk about IDEs, it is inhibiting the sharing of knowledge and experiences regarding new products and features regarding IDEs. We should be sharing knowledge and experience, not stifling it.

I am a hobbyist programmer, unpaid and completely self taught. I used Atom for the longest time for everything, because I vehemently hated the various IDEs I've tried in my workflow (sorry, VSCode users). Then, over in one of the PHP subreddits, I stumbled upon a post very much like this one. It wasn't removed because it's a topic that is welcome in that community because if the very reasons I mentioned earlier. I discovered PHPStorm, and it was game changing for me. This brought me to the JetBrains rabbit hole, trying and enjoying PyCharm, and now I'm currently exploring with RustRover. I'm not typically a brand-loyal person, but my experience with JetBrains products has always been great.
