PhpStorm is the leading IDE,
I feel like Jetbrains may be biased 🤔
If they conducted the poll within their community, then of course most of the respondents will be using their IDEs.

Good point. This was the only thing that stood out to me as “really?”.
Although I’d also think that’s the only modern IDE focused on PHP, isn’t it?

I think Zend Studio is still around. You can get a pretty good IDE-like experience in VS Code too (not anywhere near as good as a Jetbrains IDE though).
But yeah, PHPStorm is by far the best.
