WebStorm, what else?
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
- As the product of the JetBean, the UI is very familiar as the famous IntelliJ
- I don't see any other JS IDE can be compared with WebStrom, from the feature richness + plug-in + community support
- The JS static code scanning out of the box is very handy
- Auto fix is also very productive feature to mention
- It by default has well integration with Angular, TypeScript, Vue, React
- Didn't find any apparent issue overall, except sometimes the WebStorm is running too many default validation check in the backend and response is slow, typically when we keep WebStorm running for some time, and if we restart the WebStorm it will take long time to be "warm up", perhaps, some JetBean team can consider some performance improvement

WebStorm turns life easier for frontend development
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.
- Auto suggestion
- Package installation is good
- UI is easy to manage
- Version control
- syntax and all default formatting
- You need more memory to use
- No other cons I found on this. All good
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.
- Vast library of tools.
- Large source of plugins.
- Customizable interface and beautiful UI.
- WebStorm is on the pricier side for IDE's.
- WebStorm takes a little bit of time to boot up.
- Takes up a good chunk of computer processor.

WebStorm, a AAA IDE that is perfect for any Javascript project, particularly Angular and NodeJs projects
We use WebStorm to develop our Single Page Application (SPA) projects, particular Angular projects. We also use it for any NodeJs projects. WebStorm is perfect for any Javascript project. It is a AAA IDE with support for all major frameworks, source control systems, package managers, testing tools, and a host of plug-ins.
- Angular development - built-in support for tslint allows your team to code to a single standard.
- NodeJs testing - Mocha and Chai testing is a breeze for my Node unit tests.
- Emmet support for HTML makes for speedy prototyping.
- The file difference utilities are some of the best I've used for my Github merge conflicts. They are really focused around source control conflict scenarios instead of the "can be used for" mentality of other IDEs.
- The popup file search sometimes frustrates me. It caps the number of results, and sometimes it isn't clear that it simply stopped looking. I also used to have trouble finding string occurrences that I knew were in my project, but I think they've made improvements in this area recently.
- Being a AAA IDE, WebStorm can be a memory hog. If I don't kill it every few days, it can get really slow. I would love to see performance improvements.
- Speaking of performance, WebStorm can take a long time to launch. I'd like to see improvements in launch times.

Great IDE focused on streamlined web development!
Currently, we are using this in our development department. It really increases our development time with its integration with all of the services that we use, from code control to build processes. We use it for the development of internal and client-facing sites and files, and it works well with every environment that we throw at it. It helps us all to be on the same page by using the same IDE but is customizable enough for user preferences so each developer still has their own workspace.
- Source control integration - supports all major source control systems.
- User customization - users can set up the IDE to meet their own style and needs.
- Code completion - does a great job at auto-completing code!
- Company response to requested features sometimes lags behind a little.
Our entire dev team uses WebStorm as our primary IDE for Angular and AngularJS development. We develop an online, web-based service with a backend web API fronted by a large Angular/AngularJS application. We adopted WebStorm as a fully functional IDE after using more simple text editors previously, and this has improved developer productivity and product quality.
- Provides a smooth, efficient IDE for developing web applications. Performance is on par with other JetBrains products and doesn't impede productivity.
- Integrated refactoring and other language tools are comprehensive and useful. WebStorm does a good job of putting together the mess that Javascript can make, usually.
- Integrates with other JetBrains products, such as TeamCity, Upsource, etc.
- Great git integration and UI.
- When dealing with legacy Javascript/Typescript code, refactoring can be dangerous. eg. changing variable names across the entire project rather than just local scope.
- Versioning can be a bit of a nightmare. There is an official updater, but they tend to leave old versions hanging around, and I have found myself accidentally using a previously installed version without intending to.

WebStorm: A costly but reliable Javascript developer
In the current organization, WebStorm is used by folks who are into web development. It is mainly used by web developers who need the enterprise features that WebStorm offers like quick code generation, debugging, and easy integration to version control like Git. It is primarily used by people who are into development of new javascript frameworks.
- Webstorm is suitable for development in new JS frameworks like Angular and reacts with drastic improvement in recent years.
- It helps in the seamless debugging of test websites.
- Integration with Git is a breeze. A Git rebase is made so simple and trivial by the integrated merge tool.
- As with many more Intellij products, it is a memory hog. It is very resource intensive process.
- Being a simple JS editor , it has a very high cost. So there will not be a big adoption especially when there are competing open source products offering at per functionality.
- The code completion can be a little improved.

There's nothing bad that can be said about IntelliJ WebStorm if your web dev project leans on JavaScript
Currently, it is not listed as a corporate application that we use internally across all departments, but I believe some departments, including ours have purchased single or multi licenses for IntelliJ WebStorm. Within our department we do custom development, support and administration of enterprise web applications to support our corporate internal services. For us, WebStorm was the most practical IDE for us to use, as it accommodated all of our needs to do custom web development. We work a lot with JavaScript (NodeJS, Archibus API), so it's extremely useful for this. As well, we use Gitlab and the built-in plugins for WebStorm allow us to do everything within the IDE, instead of using multiple apps. <br>
- Plugins -- especially the Git integration
- Debuggings for JavaScript, which is very customization.
- Ability to use Flow
- Lots of cool syntax highlighting and code styling.
- A problem I have with a lot of IDEs is that they seem to go over-kill. Although not entirely a con, a dumbed down version of WebStorm would be useful.
- Subscription based license

Review
Local File history is a blessing. Code Debugging is very smooth. Best part is auto correct options. If you write the wrong, syntax it gives you a hint of what you should use instead.
- Integrated Version control system saves me lots of time to resolve conflicts and see different systems side by side.
- Customisable theme options are very cool and I can work in low light as well.
- Sometimes auto formatter creates big problems
- It's not free. You can have the trial version for a month, but the price is little bit high.

A Smart IDE
IntelliJ WebStorm is used extensively at our product development department as the IDE of choice for web and front end development. IntelliJ has a great reputation for creating enterprise quality software and WebStorm is no different. At our company most of the front end development is done in AngularJS and Angular. This IDE offers full feature support for both frameworks and comes equipped with Git, bash terminal, debugger and auto-linter.
- Provides full feature support for native JavaScript as well as frameworks like Angular, React, Stencil etc.
- The IDE provides support for auto-linting which is a handy feature to have in order for teams to produce good standardized code.
- The built in terminal is very handy if you want to deploy the code using Webpack server.
- The IDE is fairly resource intensive. It has gotten better in the newer versions but still hogs around 500MB at minimum.
- We've constantly had issues with using the debugger to function correctly while running our Karma tests.
- The IDE is not free like Visual Studio Code or Eclipse and the cost can be a bit prohibitive for young startups.

I love my IntelliJ <3
We use IntelliJ Webstorm as the primary development editor for our development purposes. We mainly code in NodeJS and Angular and this was a perfect fit for JavaScript editor. We initially tried many other editors such as Atom, Eclipse, but none of them were giving us the full experience we wanted. Purchasing WebStorm was the best decision we took, because since then we have all the tools we need in one place. We use WebStorm as an editor, debugger, version control, database views, terminal, code-beautifier, linter, and what not.
- This is the only editor in my opinion which gives you the full development experience if you want to code in JavaScript.
- WebStorm supports many different linters including "standards". This has been such a blessing for our team. All our PRs look perfect now.
- WebStorm is very good in design. I love coding in it.
- It has terminal built right into it. I know many other editors also provide this, but I really like how seamlessly the terminal works out of the box.
- Most of the plugins you will ever need is already installed right off the box. I haven't installed anything new so far.
- The rename/reformat functions are very intelligent. I feel very confident renaming something new.
- There is a "validation" inspector which reports anything as small as spellings. This helps us keep our codebase very-very clean.
- The auto-complete feature is the worst/weakest thing about WebStorm. It definitely works very much like other editors (not bad when compared to other editors), but I expected more intelligence.
- It does not natively supports many frameworks (like mocha if I remember correctly), which is okay because obviously they cannot support everything, and you have the option to install the library-support. But the auto-complete/function-definition is very bad. The library-support only adds method calls from the "TypeScript" version. E.g. if a method abc() is defined in a library, but the typescript version that WebStorm downloaded does not have that method, it shows a warning. I would like WebStorm to scan my node_modules and use method-signatures from there instead of typescript signatures.
- The profile exporter will only export language settings. However I would like WebStorm to also export other settings such as right-margin length and any other setting that I might change. In-fact I would like the profile to be version-controlled locally so that I can keep track of what changes I made over the time period.
