Overall Satisfaction with WebStorm

WebStorm is a complete IDE with many advanced features to help speed up software development. Most developers choose WebStorm because they recognise its qualities that make programming easier and more enjoyable. WebStorm offers its users a plethora of plugins, both free to use and paid ones and has a wide variety of UI customisation options.

Pros

  • Powerful file indexing
  • Out of the box git support
  • Free plan for students through github
  • Excellent plugins

Cons

  • Can be resource intensive
  • Can get slow in a very large codebase
  • Pricing gets steep for upper tiers
  • Faster software development
  • Higher employee satisfaction
  • Quicker debugging
It has a learning curve, but once you get the hang of the UI and discover a wide variety of plugins and keyboard shortcuts, you become unstoppable. Software development gets faster and smoother because of the great debugging tools that WebStorm has to offer. Multiple languages and frameworks have their own support, so you are covered no matter your field of expertise.

Do you think WebStorm delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Are you happy with WebStorm's feature set?

Yes

Did WebStorm live up to sales and marketing promises?

Yes

Did implementation of WebStorm go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy WebStorm again?

Yes

WebStorm is well suited for large enterprise projects because of powerful indexing, a great search algorithm, git support and testing capabilities. I wouldn't recommend WebStorm for a single developer working on small hobby projects because of the pricing, in that chase I would use a free IDE like Visual Studio Code.
