I think it's important to note that the PHP documentation team, as an entity, does not prefer or promote specific editors. It's nice that PhpStorm offered members a license, but that's the extent of it. Not saying anyone here is saying that but we, as a group, accept and love all editors equally... even Emacs. :) Regards, Philip
