#phpactor vs #intelephense

This was a useful summary
https://yarnaudov.com/phpactor-vs-intelephense.html

Although last time I did this test phpactor's performance noticeably lagged and that post does not talk about performance at all. I *want* to use phpactor because it's #openSource

Which is best for you and what do you like about it? There's PHPStan too but I'm never sure if that's something different or an equivalent. Boosts welcome

@godlike I'm currently switching between #Intelephense (paid) and #PHPActor -- I'd love a combination of both. :)

@dantleech @phpactor

I've set up #neovim with #phpactor (p) and another with #intelephense (i) I used Mason to install each.

What I noticed:

- The calculated root_dir fails for (p); it uses PWD

- BOTH give me signature help and completions (p) is slower and seems to crash on providing signatures for completion.

- BOTH let me jump to definition, though (i) is noticeably faster at this.

- Far fewer diagnostics from phpactor (no static analysis? Perhaps I need to add PHPStan as well?)

🆗 some follow ups. I've uninstalled the #intelephense npm package and I'm now connecting to #lsp provided by #phpactor installed globally.

Sadly I wasn't able to use felixfbecker/language-server (as described in docs) since it's development is discontinued and it is not #php8 compatible.

I'm still missing completion and probably some other functionalities I'm unaware of.

If only I'd find & fix the intelephense issue 🙏 .
