I paid for PHPStorm 2 years, but anyway I don't like it. I tried Visaual Studio by Microsoft, don't like it. Also I tried Sublime/Brackets, it's not bad but only convenient for small projects with Front-End Most of the time I use Atom: - Has terminal, a lot of good addons - It's light, you can create/copy/paste files/folders from it's source tree - good structured, supports almost any languages - works good even for MEAN, MERN, Python projects. For java Spring Boot only Eclipse IDE it's like tools: screwdriver for screws, hummer for nails and after switching on macOS after 10 years of working with web-dev on Windows, I will not come back to Windows as long as it's possible. Don't get me wrong, I have a second laptop on Windows, I still like it but not for programming. I know people who switched from macOS to Windows because they were developing VR games, and all MacBooks were unable to handle graphic.

Atom.io is pretty nice. I use it a lot with hydrogen add on, which allows running python code without opening a terminal.

PyCharm for Python because why not 🤷 and visual studio for c# even though it's clunky and generally bad lol EDIT (28/12/2018): PyCharm is really useful for larger projects, but for small things VSCode is really really nice. JetBrains products are usually really good, though many times VSCode wins (JS/TS, HTML/CSS, etc.).
