WebStorm Reviews and Ratings

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

WebStorm is a complete IDE with many advanced features to help speed up software development. Most developers choose WebStorm because they recognise its qualities that make programming easier and more enjoyable. WebStorm offers its users a plethora of plugins, both free to use and paid ones and has a wide variety of UI customisation options.

Likelihood to Recommend

WebStorm is well suited for large enterprise projects because of powerful indexing, a great search algorithm, git support and testing capabilities. I wouldn't recommend WebStorm for a single developer working on small hobby projects because of the pricing, in that chase I would use a free IDE like Visual Studio Code.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Building our core product. Writing scripts. Pretty much all development we use WebStorm. We are a big fan of Jetbrains. Their software is easy to use, and the UI is simple. Being a startup, we have built our api and mobile app with WebStorm. I founded a previous startup where my business partner and I were big fans of WebStorm and used it for all development efforts.

WebStorm is a great tool for app development. I would recommend it to most people trying to get into programming. It’s not hard to figure out, and getting your app setup to integrate with Git is easy. It’s definitely good software, and the pricing is typically affordable. They also offer a free educationally license to hobbyists.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I use it as a software developer to run and create projects in various languages like Angular, React and NodeJS. I'm an individual user of the product who has sometimes got it the subscription from company and sometimes pays for it on an individual level. The problem it solves for me or the company I'm working for is providing a IDE for different projects where I can run, debug, test and implement code efficently.

It is well suited for software development. It supports the debugging and running of a number of software like React and NodeJS. It is a great software for debugging with multiple functionalities like knowing the value of a particular variable at each debug break point, searching the value of a variable. Great code completion suggestions. Great option to set configurations to run projects along with setting environment variables.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I have been using WebStorm in my organizations for the past 7 years, give or take. WebStorm is my go-to Javascript and Web IDE and I am using it for both Javascript, web, and Typescript development. Easily integrated with many other tools and plugins, Jetbrains' WebStorm has proved to be a trusted partner and tool that is being used across different projects and for a long time.

Likelihood to Recommend

I would recommend WebStorm (and other JetBrains IDEs) for anyone who needs a robust, fast, and easy-to-learn IDE for web development. I find it to be simple, yet not simplistic, with common key bindings that are intuitive and easy to remember. The IDE can handle large amounts of projects and files, and supports inline debugging for node.js projects (both local and docker-based). There are many templates to choose from when starting a new project, and auto-save is fast and compatible with Nodemon.

While there are other free alternatives, I prefer WebStorm as I find it more robust and easier to use, but if you plan to pay nothing, than you should seek other tools.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I have a personal affinity to Jetbrain products. I've tried other IDE's but always find myself being far more productive when using Jetbrain products in general and Webstorm in particular. It helps developers [be more productive without changing] experiences and the general setup between development environments (web, .net, Java, python etc...). It also comes out of the box with a clear set [of] good configurations and abilities without having to add [...] many plugins or info. Webstorm has been around for years and perfected [its] integration with the JavaScript ecosystem (web + node).

Likelihood to Recommend

Groups that use a [variety] of development environments (.net, python, web), Jebrain's products and Webstorm, in particular, are a great choice for productivity. If your developers are accustom to another IDE it might be better for all to sync on the same one. I wouldn't take the cost aspect as a consideration. A productive developer is far more important.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

In the IT and R&D department of our company, for IDE selection, we use Eclipse for Java/J2EE application development, PyCharm/Spyder for Python application development, and we equip our front-end developers with the WebStorm for our modern SPA development. We use node.js to implement server side service, as it is java script based, we also use WebStorm as the standard JS IDE. Karma + Mocha are our standard testing framework for our SPA, which is seamlessly integrated into the WebStorm already

Likelihood to Recommend

For any Javascript/Typescript based development, WebStorm is the best choice

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We are using WebStorm for the last 4 years for frontend development. We all are using it and it saves more time to do coding.

Likelihood to Recommend

When we are using frontend development then it was used very well. It has suggested better suits for code and time also saved on this due to error indication and all.

Really useful in any scenarios.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

WebStorm is used by myself and a few other software teammates at our organization. We use this IDE on our front-end React-JS code. WebStorm allows my teammates and myself to use the same tools and IDE so that we can easily help each other when problem solving or viewing code.

Likelihood to Recommend

WebStorm is well suited for coders at any level. It has the same UI and feel as other JetBrains products, which is much appreciated. Working on front-end code with WebStorm makes my job a lot easier. The many plugins make my coding experience customizable and enjoyable. One scenario where WebStorm is less appropriate is the the number of web frameworks it can deal with. More current frameworks are barely supported.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I use WebStorm to develop AngularJS and Angular applications. It is not a department-wide standard, but I made the case to purchase my own license based on my experience with other JetBrains products, and it's a key part of my development process.

Likelihood to Recommend

When using TypeScript, or any of the major JavaScript frameworks, especially with large code bases. The code navigation works really well.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

This product is the main IDE used by the entire organization on different projects. It is used in nearly every phase of our software development.

Likelihood to Recommend

It is well suited for any kind of web development and has very good integrated testing tools. It's very easy to perform code analysis and refactor using refactoring tools. Version Control GUI is another feature that is done very well in this product. The merging window comes in handy when merge conflicts happen. If you're a startup or a small company that can't afford a good hardware, or software license, it might be less appropriate to use WebStorm, because it is pricey and resource-heavy.
