I'm currently using PhpStorm by Idea JetBrains, but its buggy and I'm really looking for something that will allow me to get work done without too much hassle.
Please limit one IDE/Editor an answer.

VELES (github, not developed now, nice 3D visualizations, full featured for analyzing of unknown data structures with support for png, zip and other)
There are not that many alternatives, but we can still build a list:
GPLI + OCS - this is the most common set up on Debian based distributions. Since you are new to this field I would advise you to start here, counting on its large community.
Pulse 2 - a project by Mandriva that looks very mature with lots of features. In principle also backed by a strong community, but concieved for a different distribution.
Snipe IT - recent, with not that many features, but uses Bootstrap and looks very nice.
FusionInventory - this is an alternative to OCS, meaning that you will still need GPLI to keep a centralised inventory.
Extra: There is a recent GPLI + OCS installation guide at Ubuntu Geek.

Netbeans is a great IDE with lots of PHP support. I can't even start to name all the features I use but there are a fair amount. Check it out here:
I've used both Eclipse for Java and Netbeans for PHP and I feel Netbeans is a bit stronger for PHP as well as XHTML and CSS. That's my personal preference anyways.
Looking at PHPStorm I assume you're looking for something similar to it, so a full IDE. Netbeans and Eclipse are the closest to that as far as I'm familiar with.
Netbeans has most, if not all, the features that PhpStorm has on that page plus a whole lot more.
