WebStorm has proven to be a highly valuable tool for developers across various scenarios. Its ability to enhance productivity and seamless integration with different development environments make it a top choice among programmers. Many users have praised the comprehensive set of pre-configured features and abilities, significantly reducing the need for additional plugins or configurations. The wide adoption of WebStorm in computer science classes speaks to its accessibility and usefulness for projects of varying complexity, making it a preferred IDE even after graduation.
One of the standout use cases of WebStorm is its effectiveness in developing single-page applications, Angular projects, and NodeJS projects. Its support for all major frameworks, source control systems, package managers, testing tools, and a wide range of plugins makes it an incredibly versatile tool for development purposes. It serves not just as an editor but also as a debugger, version control tool, and more, acting as the primary IDE for entire organizations working on different projects.
Additionally, WebStorm is highly valued by front-end developers who require enterprise features like quick code generation, debugging capabilities, and easy integration with version control systems such as Git. The IDE's customization options that cater to individual developer preferences further contribute to its appeal. Teams have found great value in using WebStorm to increase speed, efficiency, and reduce bugs in JavaScript-based applications. Collaborative work is made easier with WebStorm's centralized tool that provides consistent features and facilitates problem-solving and code viewing.
Furthermore, WebStorm's flexibility extends beyond web development as it can be used alongside other IDEs like Eclipse and PyCharm/Spyder for Java, Python, and front-end development. It has become a go-to choice for healthcare-related applications due to its reliability and efficiency in providing a conducive development environment. Overall, WebStorm has entrenched itself as the standard IDE for web application development with support for various languages, frameworks like React, Vue, Angular, as well as other essential web technologies.
Based on the user reviews, the most common recommendations for WebStorm are to try it out, especially if you have an edu email address and can access the free version. They also suggest purchasing a full IntelliJ license for access to other JetBrains products. Additionally, users recommend being patient while WebStorm indexes your files.
For Visual Studio Code, the most common recommendations are to give it a try, especially if you are a student or willing to pay for it. Users also recommend using Visual Studio Code if you need a good IDE with testing, version control system, etc. Furthermore, users think that Visual Studio Code can change your coding experience for the better.
In summary, users recommend trying out both WebStorm and Visual Studio Code to see if they meet your specific needs and preferences in terms of features, ease of use, and compatibility with your programming stack.

(1-25 of 26)Companies can't remove reviews or game the system. Here's why
VS Code is free and more popular. Popularity helps in that you can do pair programming more easily because you all use the same [tool]. It's also easier when trying to guide someone (especially a junior developer).
However, Webstorm comes with more out-of-the-box and is generally faster and more effective.
Webstorm has been around for many more years as well.

WebStorm, what else?
Microsoft VS code has some similar features as WebStorm, but too basic and lack of a lot of "in-depth" features, it is not kind of "All-In-One" IDE officially speaking, so eventually we find out WebStorm meets our needs much better

WebStorm turns life easier for frontend development
Sublime is light weight but it is not powerful as like WebStorm.
Atom is free to use, unlike WebStorm. However, as it is free it is also open-source. The drawback is that improving and maintaining the product can take time and updates are not as frequent as in WebStorm. Atom's UI is very appealing and customizable. Atom also has GitHub integration allowing for version control.

Excellent IDE for modern JavaScript Frameworks
I like WebStorm better because I don't have to spend time hunting down "useful plugins" to add to VS Code. But I'm biased because I have a lot more experience with WebStorm.

A paradise for web development!
The only reason we sometimes use Sublime is that it manages to cover basic development needs while being to be very fast and light. WebStorm is heavier on resources, but you can't compare it with Sublime, because WebStorm is an IDE, and therefore it provides more features and is more intelligent. We selected WebStorm because we can trust it in every situation that may arise in the cycle of software development. There's also VSCode, which we use more than Sublime, because it's also free and provides more features than Sublime, and it's very popular and is under active development, meaning the newest and most exciting features come to VSCode first. What it may lack, is the level of intelligence compared to WebStorm, and the level of reliability.

JetBrains WebStorm Allows for Accessibility
I have loved using WebStorm because it has so many features that are helpful not only to those just starting out, but also to veteran programmers. WebStorm also has free educational licensing, which has been integral in creating a professional environment in my classroom. It also has a great and comprehensive UI.

Simple and Smart IDE
IntelliJ WebStorm is a very smart workbench compared with other solutions available in the market, and it saves a lot of developers time in doing their tasks.

WebStorm, a AAA IDE that is perfect for any Javascript project, particularly Angular and NodeJs projects
For Javascript projects, particularly Angular projects, WebStorm is superior to any other IDE I've used. WebStorm has been easier to pick up and learn straight out of the box. Visual Studio Code might be able to do some of the same things, but not without a lot more setup and configuration. The paid versions of Visual Studio are better for .Net projects.

Good product overall, needs a little bit more attention to bugs, fewer features and more stability/performance.
I selected IntelliJ WebStorm mostly for legacy issues and I'm used/loyal to it. I guess if I started today, no strings attached I don't know if I'd be using it. It seems the main competitor is Visual Studio Code. Developers like it because it's fast and simple which is an area WebStorm does not particularly excel. Also, Visual Studio Code is more stable and supports multiple concurrent projects without hogging memory while delivering faster performance and start times.

The One Tool for Web Development
IntelliJ WebStorm in comparison with Visual Studio Code:
- More features.
- A richer set of refactoring capabilities.
- Always supporting new features in Web frameworks.
- More expensive.
- A very responsive company with great support, as supposed to a model in Visual Studio Code where most of the support is through a community. IntelliJ WebStorm has both a company and community support.
- IntelliJ enjoys great reputation among developers.

Javascript integrated development environment for teams
- AWS Cloud9 and NetBeans
WebStorm is the best IDE for javascript over cloud9 and NetBeans which have traditionally supported a variety of languages with no specific specialty. While WebStorm has a cost associated per license, it is bar none when it comes to an integrated development environment needed for testing and working with code that comes from different areas.
WebStorm offers full IDE features for web development that surpasses the best text editors, and I find it has better features than even VS Code still.

The reigning champion in front-end IDEs
- PhpStorm, IntelliJ IDEA, Eclipse, NetBeans, Microsoft Visual Studio Code, Visual Studio IDE, Atom and Komodo IDE
In my mind, WebStorm offers the best combination of features and flexibility that puts it ahead of all of the competition for many use cases.
I still use Visual Studio Code for a lot of things, but as a project IDE, WebStorm offers a lot of benefits in the realm of built-in coding assistance and refactoring options.

WebStorm: A costly but reliable Javascript developer
WebStorm is an excellent option but for people who are already into IDEA products. It is costly and resource-intensive and hence might not be favorable to the open source developer groups out there. Though it has many enterprise features like version control integration and support, there are many competing products in the market many of which are free like VSCode.

IntelliJ WebStorm, a great tool to develop in an efficient way
While Visual Studio is a great toll to develop our C# back-end application, we found that using this one to develop our front-end web application was not suitable.

There's nothing bad that can be said about IntelliJ WebStorm if your web dev project leans on JavaScript
The only other applications that I've used comparable to IntelliJ Webstorm have been Aptana Studio and Microsoft Visual Studio Code. Personally, I found Visual Studio Code too complicated. I never had the time to get around the learning curve of that IDE, since I'm so busy at work. Aptana was my go-to choice for web dev IDEs for years, and I still really love it, but for projects more geared towards JavaScript, I strongly feel WebStorm is the absolute best.

IDE for complete full stack web development
Others are free IntelliJ WebStorm is not.

I love my IntelliJ <3
I think WebStorm is way ahead of open-source editors. Please don't get me wrong, I love open-source. But the other free editors have a lot of configuration which blocks my whole coding experience. Take "Atom" for example. I used it for about 3 months, but in that time I had to update the plugins hundreds of time, and for every little thing (e.g. linter) I had to download a community plugin, and with each plugin atom would get a little slow. Take "Eclipse" for another example, which is very suited for Java, but not so suited for JavaScript. Sublime was good, but WebStorm comes with many exciting features that I did not find in sublime/notepad.

JetBrains makes great products, and WebStorm is no exception.
- NetBeans, Visual Studio Code and Sublime
WebStorm is a better all around IDE when you are building out a solution. Visual Studio Code, Sublime, these are great for single files or for quick demos. But once we sit down to create a project, we fire up WebStorm.

Excellent for new Javascript developers or anyone trying to learn a supported framework!
We use Visual Studio Code for much of our Vue.js development now due to the excellent support with Vetur and the ease of writing plugins.
