My name is Eissa Soubhi, I'm a 27 years old full stack PHP developer with 5 years of experience from Casablanca, the kingdom of Morocco.
On my projects, I've worked with many programming languages for the backend like ASP.NET, JEE and PHP but I chose to stick with PHP because I liked how it allows me to know and control what happens under the hood, but that comes with some security and performance costs so working with a Framework is a must. Unlike choosing a backend language, when I first worked with Laravel 4 years ago, I just fell in love with it instantly.
I've worked with Vue.js, Angular and React each one of those Frameworks has its pros and cons but I liked them all and I dont mind to work with anyone of them. Let's not forget about CSS, there is so much to tell about this language but let me conclud it by saying I mostly work with Sass and the widly popular CSS framework Bootstrap.
Now let's talk about IDEs and Text editors, most PHP developers say PhpStome is the best IDE for PHP and it has a lot of features, I've tried it but I prefer to keep things lightweight and simple, I think you know what I'm talking about... yes exactly it's Sublime Text... Sublime Text is and always will be my prefered code editor, I dont undersand why dont they just make it the default text editor in all OSes, you ask me why? here is my answer on Quora https://www.quora.com/Which-IDE-or-text-editor-are-you-using-right-now-Why/answer/Eissa-Soubhi
