Overall Satisfaction with WebStorm

I use it as a software developer to run and create projects in various languages like Angular, React and NodeJS. I'm an individual user of the product who has sometimes got it the subscription from company and sometimes pays for it on an individual level. The problem it solves for me or the company I'm working for is providing a IDE for different projects where I can run, debug, test and implement code efficently.

Pros

  • Code debugging is really great
  • Code suggestions while typing the code out
  • Various extensions for download like for git support
  • Creation of configurations for running projects

Cons

  • Eats up a lot of RAM even in a 16 GB RAM machine
  • The shortcuts could be easier and rememberable
  • Support for XML files is limited
  • Though, I use it personally, a company would benefit from the product on maintenance and development of software.
  • Better understanding of internal code of languages, functionality to go deep into modules and languages for the employees to have better understanding of the software
  • Debugging and testing made easier. Would be great to debug a production issue on local environment quicker and more efficiently, save the company a lot of money.
Great in debugging, testing, developing and maintaining softwares in a number of languages. Great support for many languages and their syntaxes. Great support of many third party extensions and plugins like GIT and html plugins. The RAM usage of WebStorm however could be really improved, it literally takes almost all of the RAM of my machine with 16GB RAM.
The above mentioned IDEs/editors are light weight and do not eat up that much RAM but WebStorm is clearly superior when it comes to great development, maintainability, easy testing and debugging of a software project. Many advanced features with syntax suggestions, language syntax parsers and much more. Not to mention many third party plugins to play around with.

It is well suited for software development. It supports the debugging and running of a number of software like React and NodeJS. It is a great software for debugging with multiple functionalities like knowing the value of a particular variable at each debug break point, searching the value of a variable. Great code completion suggestions. Great option to set configurations to run projects along with setting environment variables.
