I've had phpstorm get stuck indexing until I shut the app down, no matter what Stack overflow voodoo I tried to break the cycle.

Vscode and intelephense handled the same project without breaking a sweat.

I've had much better experience with IntelliJ. No matter the maven or gradle project I've thrown at it, it just works.

I have code indexing in vscode (in cpp at least) and it's still faster. In contrast, Android Studio makes my laptop fan go crazy even after opening a hello world app..
