I use PhpStorm by JetBrains and am totally blown away by how powerful it is. It does all of the GP’s list and way more.

Powerfull, but sloooow. I really want a faster Jetbrains IDE.

Yes, if the next release didn't have a single new feature and was just a bunch of "x is faster, y is faster" - I'd call that a great release!

Usually when people have speed problems with Jetbrains IDEs it's one of two things:

1. Heap size is too small and it's GCing a lot without the user realizing. Open IDE VM options and double the -Xmx setting.

2. Using a 4k display on macOS. Try the new JBR17+Metal builds. They aren't shipped yet but switch it to using Metal to render. Makes it a lot faster.

Huh. Nr 2 is applicable to me. Will give it a try. Can’t see how it’ll fix my permanent indexing, but maybe it’ll at least feel faster.

My heap size is already at 3GB, which I feel should be enough for opening a bunch of 5kb text files :/

They're working on a new, faster underlying architecture with an IDE called Fleet. It looks like it may be a long-term foundational replacement for their other IDEs including PhpStorm.
