I use phpstorm as well for a lot of things, but I have diverse team and I go by the rule of "everything that can be automated should be automated" so relying only on intellij doesn't help me with an atom or sublime user or a VI / Emacs person.
So I need standardized accessible metrics preferable in a pre-commit hook and linting is a good start, but still not enough.
I personally want to have something along the lines of phpmetrics.org/report/latest/index.html
or at least something remotely close to the PHP-toolchain
Still, thx for the input :)
