Modern PHP tooling is actually pretty good now. Which means there is better ways to write PHP than you might think. Inspired by Nuno Maduro's modern PHP tooling talk, I went to work updating my Fission starter kit to make sure I'm using all of the latest dev tools PHP has to offer. And it totally changed how I write PHP.
