Can PHPstorm do more magics than sublime Text, VS code, and Atom? if not then which could have most magics for laravel?

PHPStorm is an IDE; the others are editors, so out-of-the-box it will do more, but the editors all can be configured to provide code discovery, autocompletion, hinting etc. It is not magic

@yousifgarabet Use PHPStorm. Nothing can beat it.

Atom text editor is also an excellent choice. The magic that you are talking about is can be enabled by installing new packages.

You can also checkout the setup that the instructors of laracasts use in their video lectures to get a better understanding of what is good and why.

Easiest and more professional for Laravel developers ?

Everyone will have their own (one or sevaral) preference; there probably is no consensus view. Use whatever suits you.
