Overall Satisfaction with WebStorm
In the IT and R&D department of our company, for IDE selection, we use Eclipse for Java/J2EE application development, PyCharm/Spyder for Python application development, and we equip our front-end developers with the WebStorm for our modern SPA development. We use node.js to implement server side service, as it is java script based, we also use WebStorm as the standard JS IDE. Karma + Mocha are our standard testing framework for our SPA, which is seamlessly integrated into the WebStorm already
- As the product of the JetBean, the UI is very familiar as the famous IntelliJ
- I don't see any other JS IDE can be compared with WebStrom, from the feature richness + plug-in + community support
- The JS static code scanning out of the box is very handy
- Auto fix is also very productive feature to mention
- It by default has well integration with Angular, TypeScript, Vue, React
- Didn't find any apparent issue overall, except sometimes the WebStorm is running too many default validation check in the backend and response is slow, typically when we keep WebStorm running for some time, and if we restart the WebStorm it will take long time to be "warm up", perhaps, some JetBean team can consider some performance improvement
- Tt makes the JS based development and testing very smooth, the developers are very productive
- WebStorm perfectly supports the VCS system like GIT and SVN, makes the team based development very efficient
- WebStorm out-of-box code quality control feature, making sure a lot low level mistakes had been corrected during the coding time
- It speeds up the development and testing, supporting our "speed-to-market" initiative
Microsoft VS code has some similar features as WebStorm, but too basic and lack of a lot of "in-depth" features, it is not kind of "All-In-One" IDE officially speaking, so eventually we find out WebStorm meets our needs much better
