Overall Satisfaction with IntelliJ WebStorm

We use IntelliJ WebStorm in our web development department for its wonderful support for Vue.js.
  • Vue.js is our primary use of WebStorm. It provides excellent IntelliSense and framework support for our primary architecture.
  • Our secondary use for WebStorm is for JQuery based applications.
  • WebStorm is a bit heavy. At any given point it needs between 700 MB and 800 MB to function efficiently.
  • At time, the IDE may go a little haywire and require a restart to function properly again.
  • Better framework documentation in the editor would be a welcomed addition.
  • I would say that IntelliJ Webstorm helped my team learn the Vue.js with relative ease.
  • The accuracy of the IntelliSense helped us learn our framework of choice.
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.
If you need one of the supported framework's support in your editor then IntelliJ WebStorm is an excellent editor. It will "save you from yourself" in many areas and ease the learning curve for many frameworks.
