I've been developing with WordPress for around ten years now and, during that time, have used my fair share of Integrated Development Environments (IDEs). There's certainly no shortage of choice these days, with literally dozens of different editors/IDEs available. (We'll come to the distinction between an IDE and an editor shortly.)

Some IDEs are free, others commercial. Some are pretty basic by default, while others do almost everything you want right out of the box. [...]
