Overall Satisfaction with WebStorm

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.
  • Debugging tools.
  • Multiple language support.
  • Version control.
  • Auto-Completion tool speeds up development time.
  • Multiple Terminals allow the user to stay on one screen further speeding up development time.
  • Supports many JS libraries so that our software team only needs one IDE for any front-end project.
Atom is free to use, unlike WebStorm. However, as it is free it is also open-source. The drawback is that improving and maintaining the product can take time and updates are not as frequent as in WebStorm. Atom's UI is very appealing and customizable. Atom also has GitHub integration allowing for version control.

WebStorm is well suited for coders at any level. It has the same UI and feel as other JetBrains products, which is much appreciated. Working on front-end code with WebStorm makes my job a lot easier. The many plugins make my coding experience customizable and enjoyable. One scenario where WebStorm is less appropriate is the the number of web frameworks it can deal with. More current frameworks are barely supported.
