Lets start with the most recent issue. Your website.
I made an account ages ago, forgot my password. Your forget password flow forces me to verify my email address, and the code generated is ALWAYS rejected. So I've had to use my own personal Microsoft account just to login and leave this. Thanks for that. If you can't even sort out your personal sales website, what hope does a complicated tool like PHPTools have...
Second.
I understand you offer no Javascript support. Something that should be MUCH more advertised on your website because going into this, I thought it would be a no brainier to include JS support, but no.
Putting aside the lack of JS support, it would be great if it didn't throw an actual VS error, and break code highlighting completely and the use of my tab key. Yes that's right, for the past year I've had to copy a tab character and paste it in instead of just tabbing because of your program. An issue I was willing to put up with, despite the cost.
I do believe its because of a conflict with something in the PPT extension (Productivity Power Tools 2017), however this is something I cannot go without in the VS17' environment. I haven't confirmed this, but suspect.
Third.
PHPTools has completely uninstalled itself now twice on my developing machine here at work. And now it refuses to re-install. I do yield it was most likely because of a windows update that this has happened, something my IT administrator has pushed on me, but its now preventing the tool from being reinstalled.
Honestly all the issues I've experiences is a really big let down. I prefer developing in Visual Studio and cannot really stand java made IDEs like PHPStorm etc. I want PHPTools to be my main go to, but after all the issues I've been experiencing I think I'm about done. We picked up our license of JetBrains just the other day.
The following is the VSIXInstaller log while trying to re-install PHPTools for VS17:
