Overall Satisfaction with IntelliJ WebStorm

I use IntelliJ WebStorm in my Computer Science classes as the IDE of choice for my students. They often continue to use WebStorm clients long after graduation. WebStorm has a huge amount of features that help make it accessible and entirely useful for programmers of all ability levels. I have had students use it to create interactive projects or to just test out ideas.
  • Includes a built in spell checker to eliminate time wasted searching for small mistakes.
  • Provides a drop down menu of options complete with keyboard shortcuts that allow for streamlined programming.
  • Identifies when variables are named differently, allowing for cohesive work without the scrolling.
  • Changing the text size and color can be difficult to navigate.
  • The organization of the left side bar is not entirely intuitive.
  • Could always benefit from more accessibility features.
  • Allows for more independence due to great drop down menus.
  • Can check user spelling in-program, and will prompt to correct mistakes.
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.
The folks over at WebStorm have always been incredibly responsive to my inquiries, allowing me to make the most of their products. I have also used their other IDEs and have been pleased with them as well. They have been open to questions and have made allowances for varying usage of the product.
