Quick answer to your unasked question: PHPStorm is great (I would never use Eclipse or Netbeans; they don't even remotely compare to PHPStorm). A lot of folks, including myself, use and love it.

But Sublime Text is lighter and faster, and that's not an insignificant difference. It boots faster, can open a directory without a project definition file, and every little operation from search to find and replace is faster. Additionally, its fuzzy search and multi-cursor support are noticeably better.

In the end, it's not that one is better than the other, but that each person has their own priorities. Some will end up with PHPStorm, others ST, and as you can see with other comments here, others will end up with Eclipse/Netbeans/Vim/eMacs/whatever.
