WebStorm's robust indexing feature allows you to quickly locate any file or specific text within your project in just seconds. The platform also supports a wide range of third-party plugins for different tools, enhancing its versatility. Additionally, the git integration is excellent, making version control seamless. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about WebStorm? The powerful indexing feature can cause the IDE to become quite slow when working with very large projects, as it takes time to process everything. Additionally, if you are handling a particularly large project and running processes within it, the IDE may use a significant amount of your RAM. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is WebStorm solving and how is that benefiting you? WebStorm enables me to write production-ready code efficiently and quickly. With the wide range of available plugins, I often find that I don't even need to leave the IDE. It has been my preferred development environment for years. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Software Developer Program Development Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 12/19/2024 "High End Professional IDE" 4/5 What do you like best about WebStorm? WebStorm is a real IDE, not a file editor with Terminal Integration and Language Servers. This is reflected by working smooth end-to-end without faults, and small features that doing the change between a community product and professional one. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about WebStorm? As it is not an open source/community project, it is an opinionated product, and adjustments that don't seem to be important to the development team can wait years to be applied, if at all. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is WebStorm solving and how is that benefiting you? I want to be able to write the logic of my code, and not busying with small tasks like rename file, find references and refactor things. WebStorm helping me to achieve that by understand my code structure tightly and allow me to do complicated refactor actions while it updates all the needs behind the scence.

Software Engineer Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 3/22/2024 "One of the best IDEs for frontend development" 4/5 What do you like best about WebStorm? It has a very good support for javascript including ES6 and typescript which helps a lot. Its features like real time edit changes and the automatic code formatting improves the code writing experience of the user. Adding plugins to it is not a complicated task and can be done with a few clicks only. Hence, it is like an awesome IDE for the purpose of HTML, CSS and Javascript. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about WebStorm? Its refracting tools like the extracting methods does not work very well and has a lot of customizable potential. Its use case is limited to frontend development, hence, paying the price it asks may not be justified for some users as many would want an all in one solution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is WebStorm solving and how is that benefiting you? Whenever I need to work on frontend projects, I prefer Webstorm because of its excellent support and hold on javascript. Being an all frontend focused software, it is very optimized and fast as compared to its competitors. It increases my code writing performance also by providing features like auto completion and fast compilation and low debugging time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

JS Jaagrav S. Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 7/20/2023 "So close to being perfect yet so far" 4/5 What do you like best about WebStorm? The GIT version control system. This is like 50% of the reason why I absolutely love webstorm and could never switch to some other editor because no other editor comes with tools for git as good as webstorm or any jetbrains editor. It's super easy to use, very scalable and I wish it was an entirely separate product by jetbrains, I'd for sure pay for it, I read in the jetbrains forum that they're not looking towards investing in making the git gui a separate app, but I'd absolutely love it. And other than git, I absolutely love the other features that comes with it, like intelliSense that automatically imports in functions from files somewhere deep in the file tree, so all I need to remember is the function name and webstorm knows exactly where the function is. Lovely feature. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about WebStorm? Ah I hate how heavy it is. I am a full stack engineer, so I use webstorm to write code on both frontend and backend projects, including Golang. Now I know there's GoLand for Go, but tbh, my M2 mac has only 16GB of RAM, and it struggles with running two jetbrains editors simultaneously. Not to mention, there are times when I have 3 windows of webstorm open, and as I write this, webstorm is using 8GBs of memory on my computer, even when I am not actively coding. Yeah I am one of those dudes who doesn't like closing apps they're not using, but yeah, if Webstorm was as light as VS Code, man it'd be perfect, but I know that won't be possible ever, Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is WebStorm solving and how is that benefiting you? Webstorm helps me the most in being productive cause I don't need to worry about git at all thanks to the beautiful GUI. No longer remembering the git commands and cheatsheets needed, just write code and webstorm handles the rest. Plus, it makes me even more productive because of intellisense that handles most of the little tasks like importing in functions and stuff, finding usage, etc that are built in natively and a separate extension is rarely needed unlike in other editors, where you need to install extensions that are buggy and don't work as sexily as webstorm's native features do.

Programmer Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 11/28/2023 "WebStorm: the reference IDE for Web development" 4/5 What do you like best about WebStorm? WebStorm is part of the JetBrains software suite aimed at developers. Specifically dedicated to front-end and back-end web technologies, it offers an intuitive and powerful development environment. Its strengths lie in the advanced integration of the most popular technologies such as JavaScript, TypeScript, Node.js, React, Vue.js, or PHP. Support for the latest language specifications, intelligent code auto-completion, and efficient debugging significantly boost productivity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about WebStorm? Its orientation towards experienced developers makes it quite complex to handle. Moreover, its subscription-based or permanent license economic model is expensive, especially for personal use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Similar to IntelliJ, I love the Intellisense functionalities present in Webstorm. They make my development process more efficient, especially when using the code generation functionality. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about WebStorm? The interface can ba a bit annoying at times. For example, if you accidentally shift-click a tab on the top, that tab will be deleted. A pretty non-intuitive and frustrating feature. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

CM Charlie M. Full Stack Engineer Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 9/1/2021 "WebStorm is a powerful and smart JavaScript IDE!" 4/5 What do you like best about WebStorm? I like Webstorm because of its awesome JavaScript support. The Github integration works very well, including support and spotting differences between commits and branches. WebStorm allows for many plugins and features and is also great with community support. Many of the main JavaScript frameworks such as React, Vue, Angular, etc. are all supported by WebStorm. I use many JetBrain products so WebStorm keeps with the familiar UI of PyCharm and others. WebStorm supports all major source control systems which is a plus. Code completion (auto-comlpetion) is also very handy. When looking for particular text in all of my directories, the custom find features are amazing. WebStorm is great a making refactoring easy. The debugging feature is also seamless and helps with the testing of websites. If you use Docker, there is also a pretty powerdul integration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about WebStorm? I dislike how much memory WebStorm uses. Usually I have to tinker with the memory size every month or so. I also find rebasing to be somewhat difficult and confusing compared to past IDE's I have used. WebStorm is also on the pricier side for IDE's coming in around $129 for the first year and then decreasing to $103 the second year and $77 the third year. The inclusion of a free tier might be very useful. When WebStorm indexes, I have noticed a slowdown every now and then. Even application start-up is slow ever so often. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering WebStorm: I recommend WebStorm to others needing a powerful JavaScript IDE. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is WebStorm solving and how is that benefiting you? The problems I am solving with WebStorm are having a full JS development experience with almost any feature or benefit that may be needed. The benefits I have realized are faster, more efficient coding and better testing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
