Hey Lex, Yes, I meant symbol parsing. PhpStorm even has contextual symbol parsing, so it knows what variables, functions, methods, etc are available in a certain scope. Pretty fancy; some might even say it's way too much. PhpStorm also supports * Undeclared variables (even potentially unreachable variables!) * Unused variables * Unreachable code * And lots more like these! I quit using Geany because starting (or exiting) it with a Drupal project opened took about 8(?) minutes to open, without any feedback. PhpStorm indexes (multi-threaded) in the background and starts semi-fast (it's still Java). I'm not expecting Geany to incorporate these way too advanced features, but multi-threaded background indexing seems like a must have to compete with the "big boys". Cheers!
