Overall Satisfaction with IntelliJ WebStorm
Our company adopted the use of IntelliJ Webstorm roughly three years ago. As our web apps transitioned from the older style Java, JSP based architecture to more Reactive and Javascript style we felt the need to use an IDE that would provide our greatest support in that direction. Webstorm is used in our software development department as the IDE of choice for web and front-end development. Most of our front-end development is done in Angular and Vue.
- This IDE offers full support for JS frameworks and comes equipped with Git, bash terminal, debugger and auto-linter.
- No additional plugins are required to work with frameworks such as React, Stencil and AngularJS
- Docker integration plugin is another great feature that we use regularly in our department.
- It would be ideal if the IDE was made free of cost like Visual Studio Code from Microsoft. That would really boost its adoption by developers.
- We've run into issues with using Karma debugging for our test execution framework.
- The product can be heavy in terms of resource consumption.
- The software developers are overall satisfied with this IDE.
