Screenshot of GNOME 3 desktop.

After all these years, I can still find no better development environment than GNOME 3, Emacs and Rhythmbox.

A 100% functional desktop environment, that’s way more flexible than macOS or Windows, more secure, more resource-efficient, faster, cleaner, less obtrusive, quicker to navigate, more economic keyboard shortcuts to navigate, and (IMHO) better on the eye too.

Which all matters when you spend whole days looking at code.

PHP.  It’s been a little while since I had to deal with you but, seriously, is this really a thing?

[php]$value = 10;
$temp = 0;
   
for($ctr = 0; $ctr < $value; $ctr++) {

echo "value + ctr: " . $value + $ctr . "<br>";
// this doesn’t work?!

$temp = $value + $ctr;
echo "value + ctr: " . $temp . "<br>";
// … but this does work?

}[/php]

Perhaps (hopefully) things have changed in PHP7?
