I tried to like CLion, but it was extremely laggy for me every time I tried it. php-src contains some rather large files, and even some dsl (zend_vm_def.h) that didn't work well at all. I also didn't find a way to add simple highlighting support for PHP test files. VSCode works surprisingly well, I've used it for C development for years. I created a simple guide for setting it up, including gdb. It shouldn't take you more than 10 minutes. [1] Zed is also already a decent option that essentially just works out of the box. Unfortunately, it's currently lacking debugging support.
