Overall Satisfaction with IntelliJ WebStorm

WebStorm is being used in my team as we are the only area of the organization that is working on Node/JS applications. WebStorm address the business problem of needing a JavaScript IDE without the overhead and significantly cheaper licensing model compared to Visual Studio. My team and I are more productive and efficient at JavaScript development as a result of using WebStorm.
  • JS intellisense
  • Easy to add plug-ins for the IDE
  • Seems to be responsive and fast in the editor and debugging mode
  • Seems to take a while to load up the IDE initially - I've seen this on both MacOS and Windows 10
  • Developers in our organization have increased productivity
  • As a team, we are able to ensure basic coding standards are met with ESLint easily
I started with Visual Studio - at the time, intellisense for JavaScript was limited - WebStorm was built for JavaScript applications; so intellisense was automatic. WebStorm offered project templates out of the gate which was really helpful as I learned JavaScript application development for both web and service projects.
WebStorm is well suited for JavaScript application development. I've enjoyed JetBrains ReSharper for VS for many years now and WebStorm takes all that familiarity and applies to it's own JavaScript IDE. While the layout differs from VS, I still feel comfortable and familiar with WebStorm.
