For a language that has been there for decades it's embarrassing how weak the language servers are, and to make it worse they all have this Premium plan that does not even improve the intellisense as one would wish.
I mean look at JavaScript/Typescript if you have a string you only get string methods. In PHP, you can do whatever and get an error in runtime or worse, production.
I know now PHP has type safety now, but it's not as good as it's supposed to be, too much plumbing to work with it. Don't get me wrong I love PHP and prefer working with it more than any other language including Typescript. I just wish this part of PHP would improve.
All in all, I'm great full of the individuals and teams that are working hard to improve PHP DX, this is just a rant about the state of things.
