WebStorm is a complete IDE which offers so many features for searching and organizing files in your project. It also have great themes for all kind of users. The terminal allow you to run, for example, nodeJs and so you can use all NG commands directly in IDE. It also provides some useful tasks such as File Watchers to write a rule to execute each time a file or a group of file changes. It is way the web IDE I've ever used

It speeds up the development of my work and personal projects

  ### 4. Really easy to use editor for webpages

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Jose Armando R. | Marketing Coordinator, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 16, 2019

**What do you like best about WebStorm?**

I don't code at all but I do understand code and with this, I can make the edits I need to the HTML in minutes, finding the text I need to change(for example a date) and doing that in all the instances of the HTML I'm editing. This allows me to also view images directly in the program and open any browser to see how it's looking and if I made the correct 

**What do you dislike about WebStorm?**

License price is a bit expensive, but since my company pays for it I'm totally ok with that.

**Recommendations to others considering WebStorm:**

I'm on marketing and I think it's easy to use, it's that easy even if you don't code at all.

**What problems is WebStorm solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Modifying webpages and seeing how the final result is looking without much effort.

  ### 5. The best tool for webdesign.

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Fernando  H. | Software Developer, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 01, 2019

**What do you like best about WebStorm?**

Split view lets you open a file and preview it live in the same screen, with the click of a button you can open any web browser as long as you have them installed, you can preview raster and vector graphics directly in WebStorm without needing any external program thus reducing the time you spend tabbing in and out. Program is very lightweight so does not consume a lot of ram or CPU. 

**What do you dislike about WebStorm?**

When you open many files the tabs on top with the files become a little weird and hard to find. 

**Recommendations to others considering WebStorm:**

A great feature is that you can store your current layout as default with one click and have a consistent layout across computers for the duration of the project. 

**What problems is WebStorm solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Web design and development for python script integration. 

  ### 6. WebStorm for JavaScript based development

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 24, 2019

**What do you like best about WebStorm?**

WebStorm is rich of all the IDE functionalities that a JS developer needs and support many JS libraries.

**What do you dislike about WebStorm?**

WebStorm requires little bit more hardware resources to work. ( RAM etc )

**Recommendations to others considering WebStorm:**

Webstorm is perfect for Javascript based developers who work with JS framework and libraries. If you're a professional i highly recommend to use Webstorm. Also If you're a student you can get free license from Jetbrains easily for educational purposes.

**What problems is WebStorm solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I use WebStorm for front end development in our projects.
There are many benefits like,
Increase code quality and standard,
Reduce coding mistakes and human errors
Allows to code faster
Console and debugger inside IDE
Perfect search engine

  ### 7. Best IDE For Web Development if you are using NodeJs

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** September 27, 2019

**What do you like best about WebStorm?**

Easy to install and start a project, great support for the most popular frameworks on the market like react, react native, Angular JS, and others. Also great support for NodeJs in general including a quick application generator for fast startup.

**What do you dislike about WebStorm?**

Its cost to small developers can be high, largely due to the lack of a community version of this ide, instability in the new versions can occur as well as recurring bugs, so using this ide in a controlled environment can be more costly to mantain, because upgrades are normally required for their proper operation.

**Recommendations to others considering WebStorm:**

If you want a reliable and powerful idea for JavaScript web applications there is no better option on the market for this task.

**What problems is WebStorm solving and how is that benefiting you?**

The need for an ide of this size is enormous, even now the only one that fits our needs in general, ranging from agility in editing project files, even creating projects from scratch with extra agility and reliability thanks to the git integration.

  ### 8. A very good code editor for working with scripts for remote and local servers.

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** ramon r. | Program Manager, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 10, 2019

**What do you like best about WebStorm?**

For when we want to have a lot of speed in terms of programming, webstorm offers it, it has everything to handle and edit the code in the remote servers that we manage, it even helps us to test content, of everything that we upload via FTP. , as well as the captures of the remote servers, many of the files that we edit are made with this program.

**What do you dislike about WebStorm?**

Although the program is very complete, I think that personally it lacks some saving options like saying that some file extensions are missing, another very important thing that I have seen is that it would lack the implementation of better previews of the files that we have to edit.

**Recommendations to others considering WebStorm:**

I always recommend that you read the tutorials that you have on the program's page, because like all good software there, learn to use the most complex options, here in cisco, it serves us very well for editing files on servers, but it also serves for the realization of sites on the internet, this program is basically made to do a faster job and make everything easier in terms of coding editing and handling of scripts in the file packages for the servers.

**What problems is WebStorm solving and how is that benefiting you?**

At work is a program that we already have by default most of us here, has many options, in fact in my opinion I think it is one of the best with which e worked is very easy and fast to work with this editor, that we not only use to edit files from remote servers but also use it in the design of the site where we upload part of the work and captures of remote and local servers of my work, so it is a program that we use daily.

  ### 9. The best IDE for JavaScript Developers

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Housam Z. | User Experience Developer, Front-end Developer, and a Software Engineer, Research, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 10, 2019

**What do you like best about WebStorm?**

I like everything about WebStorm, but the best features are its integrated system to handle JavaScript and TypeScript, along with SASS support on the go.
Despite the fact of it being easy-to-use, the program makes a very nice environment to develop your web applications.
I use it usually with JavaScript projects, I like that for example, I can start an Angular CLI project from it and leave the rest to this integrated feature where it handles creating the files and the hierarchy for my project. I can use the terminal from inside the program to run and debug the code I am writing. It helps a lot with having SASS in the project as it creates an automatic file watched to compile that to CSS.
Debugging was never easier for Web projects, WebStorm automatically highlights problems with the code at writing the code time, and then you can easily trace your methods and classes.
For the final testing, it's a great tool, as you can run your tests from inside it as well.

**What do you dislike about WebStorm?**

I have a problem with shortcuts, it doesn't follow the common sense sometimes as in the case of going to the start or the end of a code file.

**Recommendations to others considering WebStorm:**

This is the best IDE for JavaScript projects, nothing compares.

**What problems is WebStorm solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I am using only WebStorm, I don't need another window to run the terminal or run the testing processes. I like how it helps to understand the code you are writing before your run and check later.

  ### 10. "The" Web Development IDE

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Aaron F. | Senior Software Engineer / Software Development Manager, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 30, 2019

**What do you like best about WebStorm?**

It's a solid IDE for Web Development. Web development is hard, annoying, sucks, largely due to JavaScript not having types (except for TypeScript) and a lot of "guessing" needing to be done to identify how something should work. WebStorm takes a lot of the guessing out and can be used as a real IDE like other languages have and that's super useful.

**What do you dislike about WebStorm?**

The cost of this defers me from using it for my own personal use.

**What problems is WebStorm solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Web development, particularly writing new code, refactoring old code, understanding how something worked in the past.

  ### 11. Webstorm - Best web dev iDE

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Jorge A. | Becario en CEDeI, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** March 05, 2020

**What do you like best about WebStorm?**

All the little things that makes Webstorm a full IDE.

**What do you dislike about WebStorm?**

The indexing is a little bit slow on large size projects

**What problems is WebStorm solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Using as my main IDE

  ### 12. Unparalleled amount of features for a Front End IDE, at the cost of performance.

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Sergei Edoardo G. | Sergei Garcia - Sr. Software Engineer, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 25, 2019

**What do you like best about WebStorm?**

Webstorm is an incredibly powerful IDE for Front End, and I love how frequently it receives updates on cutting edge Front End Tools, notably Vue.js, TypeScript and GraphQL. Also, it's a fantastic bonus the fact it streamlines a lot of developer tooling into one tool, such as task runners and version control.

**What do you dislike about WebStorm?**

Webstorm's features sadly don't come without a cost, mainly in the shape of huge performance issues on low and mid range machines, or when working on large projects even on large machines. This is caused by the indexing it does on project open which can be disabled, but this sadly removes a lot of functionality as well. Also, it packs so many features it can, and will be a daunting tool for beginners.

**Recommendations to others considering WebStorm:**

Read the wiki! Webstorm is NOT an easy tool to get into, and all help will be crucial.

**What problems is WebStorm solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I needed a powerful IDE to work on a substantially large project (+500,000 files), and Webstorm gave me a way of handling and refactoring such large amounts of code with ease. It's definitely a life saver on large projects.

  ### 13. Brilliant IDE for JS and web development

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Paul G. | Tech Lead, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 09, 2019

**What do you like best about WebStorm?**

Really good, comprehensive interface. Almost any function you could possibly want is here and there are many plugins available to fill the gaps. It works well with many different build systems or development paradigms. 

**What do you dislike about WebStorm?**

Arbitrary restriction of things like basic PHP support in order to split up their various IDEs. Source code management could be better, it's probably the single worst part of the IDE. There are free plugins like Gitlook for VS Code that do far superior at managing these workflows.

**Recommendations to others considering WebStorm:**

If you need a great web IDE with more features than Atom or VS Code and you don't need a big language oriented environment like PHPStorm or Visual Studio, WebStorm is definitely one of the first options you should take a look at.

**What problems is WebStorm solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I use it all the time for prototyping and for anything that doesn't require a specific environment.

  ### 14. Best software for front end Development

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** September 20, 2019

**What do you like best about WebStorm?**

It runs on all major operating systems. It provides a robust, fast, and flexible static code analysis. This analysis detects language and runtime errors, suggests corrections and improvements. It also indexes your whole project and can, for example, detect all unused methods, variables and more.

**What do you dislike about WebStorm?**

The cost is way too high and not everyone can afford that too much cost since there are so many ide's present but the code detation and simple ui makes webstorm popular

**Recommendations to others considering WebStorm:**

The ui is 100% customizable so i recommend everyone to at least experience it once so that you can decide whether to use or not

**What problems is WebStorm solving and how is that benefiting you?**

WebStorm has an integrated test runner which I really like. This way you can run your tests directly from the IDE and even debug them there.
So i am using it for testing and development both.

  ### 15. Top Notch Software for Making Web Applications!

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Maksim S. | Full Stack Web Developer, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 06, 2019

**What do you like best about WebStorm?**

I really enjoy the speed and the capabilities of WebStorm. I use it daily and have learned my way to navigate it. I really like the smart complete and search everywhere functions. 

**What do you dislike about WebStorm?**

I don't like that WebStorm is not learning my habits and my preferences. Smart code suggestions / snippet creation, workflow optimizations could really improve my daily processes.

**Recommendations to others considering WebStorm:**

This software is really top notch if you're into web development. Learn the shortcuts, watch some tutorials and optimize your workflow!

**What problems is WebStorm solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I've created over 300 projects using WebStorm. From tiny single page landing pages, to enterprise web platforms, I've been using it for lots of projects. I stay up to date with code editors and workflow and WebStorm is also usually up-to-date and trying to stay competitive with other products.

  ### 16. Fast IDE to review and work HTML, CSS and JS 

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Matthew M. | Software Development, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 17, 2019

**What do you like best about WebStorm?**

Good out of the box, you already have git integration and all the usual formats like JS, HTML, CSS support, you can preview files directly on Webstorm, it's really nice that if you are working with a png file or any other image file you can open it directly without using an external program. That way you are not distracted by needing to that windows and you can keep your work flow in only one program. 

**What do you dislike about WebStorm?**

Nothing really, this tool has everything I need when working with HTML/CSS/JS

**Recommendations to others considering WebStorm:**

Great software and probably the best on it's kind but I would not buy it by itself since there are a lot of other great software for editing HTML but It's totally worth it if you buy the All Products Pack from jetbrains like I did.

**What problems is WebStorm solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Downloading and testing frameworks and customizing them to our needs

  ### 17. The best editor for webpages 

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Sandra C. | Web Developer, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 27, 2019

**What do you like best about WebStorm?**

It's lightning-fast, when I need to make a change to a page either in our private or public infrastructure I usually do it in minutes, with other IDEs I use to take hours to make a little change because of the really large codebase. 

**What do you dislike about WebStorm?**

If you use something else besides HTML and JS this editor is not enough. 

**Recommendations to others considering WebStorm:**

This is great for big complex projects that need maintenance 

**What problems is WebStorm solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Making changes to our HTML and JS public-facing websites and developing new features in our private network.

  ### 18. Incredible

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Wolfgang S. | Bon client SSH et Telnet, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** March 17, 2019

**What do you like best about WebStorm?**

I obtained an unstructured scholar's license once I entered the faculty and was using this tool to the fullest. It provides many browser functions within the IDE itself, which is good for checking debugging. Now, JavaScript is not very practical and can also guide many other languages.

**What do you dislike about WebStorm?**

- Sometimes it indicates errors when there are none. I haven't even identified a major flaw yet, maybe some additional customization could be of high quality? There are two things I don't like about it.

**Recommendations to others considering WebStorm:**

It is a great tool for improving the internet. For a beginner in net improvement, WebStorm is a very good choice. If your PC has enough RAM, it's an awesome IDE.

**What problems is WebStorm solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We discovered that without WebStorm, our programming team would take much longer to accomplish tasks, especially using it as the number one IDE for the growth of Internet initiatives. Web improvement.

  ### 19. Packed with loads of desirable capabilities, accelerate the way of development

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Carlos M. | Editor de código ligero y funcional., Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** March 17, 2019

**What do you like best about WebStorm?**

I had been using JetBrains products for all my development languages, Clone, RubyMine, WebStorm. I still have to find a tool that comes close to WebStorm for JavaScript. - The fantastic customization, the number of plugins, and error prediction, I have been using it for three months on a private project with Angular, and my opinion couldn't be better, I still have almost none, however.

**What do you dislike about WebStorm?**

There are some plugins that are not examined correctly and, occasionally, with new updates, the plugins break. WebStorm can be very useful in terms of help. For heavy project reminiscences, WebStorm starts to crash and freeze in instances.

**Recommendations to others considering WebStorm:**

Read the Documentation Those of us who have used this software program are virtually satisfied, the most effective point is the cost, but it is worth making the investment by incorporating even more available JS frameworks.

**What problems is WebStorm solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I use WebStorm for a series of tasks, such as improving Ionic apps and building Angular sites that I use to basically examine and exercise JavaScript. We are a small startup and we are running on WordPress, we are developing plugins and themes.

  ### 20. Impressive tool to improve JavaScript

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Juan Jose B. | Editor de contenido textual de fuente abierta y gratuita, ideal para la misión de tecnología de estadísticas, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** March 11, 2019

**What do you like best about WebStorm?**

- It provides a large number of internal browser functions of the IDE, which is great for reviewing or debugging. As always, all Jetbrains IDEs are my favorites due to the great amount of customization, predictions, and conveniences they offer to the programmer.

**What do you dislike about WebStorm?**

- Sometimes it indicates errors that do not exist. Slow to load even compared to different IDEs. At some point, this application is a CPU consumer and this software is proprietary and cannot be modified.

**Recommendations to others considering WebStorm:**

A better guide to UML diagrams that could easily be included as part of the documentation confirming the various industry requirements. For a beginner in web development, WebStorm is an excellent opportunity. Try it for a month and decide for yourself.

**What problems is WebStorm solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Using it as the number one IDE for developing web tasks. A JS IDE that could properly adjust the function and display the documentation on hover. Website growth, CD, unprotection.

  ### 21. It's better than most average products

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Ruicheng L. | Software Engineer, Computer Software, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 21, 2019

**What do you like best about WebStorm?**

The coding assistance provided by WebStorm is the best around. It facilitates very rapid development without having to hunt through documentation all day.
The breadth and depth of plugins, both from JetBrains and from the community, is incredible. There are plugins to do practically anything.
It's cross-platform, and using the JetBrains Toolbox makes it so it can auto-update seamlessly without me needing to worry about it.
The amount of languages and types of projects it can support is pretty staggering.

**What do you dislike about WebStorm?**

WebStorm can be slow to start up, particularly if it has to reindex the site, it can end up slowing my entire computer down for a little while. This is compounded with having a lot of plugins active.
WebStorm can be very resource-intensive. It will happily eat up as much memory as you give it, at least to a point. This is fine if you have a beefy development system, but if you don't have a lot of memory or other resources available, WebStorm can sometimes run quite slowly.
Once in a while, using "Find in files" doesn't find certain text strings that do exist within project files. It's pretty rare, but it has caused a hassle a couple of times.

**Recommendations to others considering WebStorm:**

It's a necessary product to have in current industry

**What problems is WebStorm solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Writing code with it and it's much more efficient than competitors

  ### 22. A Powerful JavaScript IDE

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Awanthi N. | Network Engineer, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 19, 2019

**What do you like best about WebStorm?**

It is easy to set up and use. There is no knowledge need to before using WebStorm. It is suitable for development in new JS frameworks. It provides powerful editing features and instant feedback for Web developers.

**What do you dislike about WebStorm?**

It has an expensive cost. The worst thing in Webstorm is auto-complete code feature.

**Recommendations to others considering WebStorm:**

They have an excellent customer service.I recommend this tool.

**What problems is WebStorm solving and how is that benefiting you?**

The IDE analyzes the project to provide the best code completion results for all supported languages. WebStorm helps us get around our code more efficiently and save time when working with large projects.

  ### 23. WebStorm is an amazing IDE for Javascript development. It is faster and highly customizable. 

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Michael M. | System Administrator, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 18, 2019

**What do you like best about WebStorm?**

WebStorm’s intelligent code completion is second to none. WebStorm comes bundled with JSHint and JSLint. JSCS, ESLint, and Closure Linter can be installed via npm. They register as inspections and are customizable through IDE settings. They run automatically and will highlight potential issues. Pressing alt+enter on an issue will allow the user to view suggested fixes.

**What do you dislike about WebStorm?**

I dislike two things about it. Occasional slow performance. WebStorm can sometimes choke all cores of the CPU. There are numerous reports of high CPU usage. Secondly, it is not open source. This application is proprietary, and thus cannot be modified, freely distributed, or trusted for security.

**Recommendations to others considering WebStorm:**

I highly recommend WebStorm to other users. 

**What problems is WebStorm solving and how is that benefiting you?**

WebStorm have improved our productivity since working with this IDE is powerful but simple and we save a lot of time. For large projects, WebStorm makes it easy to write code. 

  ### 24. Amazing software for web design 

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Montserrat L. | Marketing and Media Manager, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 28, 2019

**What do you like best about WebStorm?**

As a marketer I use this software to create quick static pages containing multimedia resources viewable in every device. You don't need to know a lot of HTML to understand how to use this, and you can preview your work with the split screen page view while you work on it. 

**What do you dislike about WebStorm?**

We really like working with this software, worth the price tag and free for students.

**Recommendations to others considering WebStorm:**

If you are a student you can get this for free by asking with your .edu email. It's worth it as a tool to have under your resume.

**What problems is WebStorm solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Creating interactive webpages with multimedia that work and look great in all screen sizes, from iPhone to 5K displays 

  ### 25. Best IDE out there

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Logistics and Supply Chain | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 08, 2019

**What do you like best about WebStorm?**

helps you clean up your code and there are so many shortcuts. my productivity level is a lot higher since i switched to this software.

**What do you dislike about WebStorm?**

Seeing code changes is a little harder when going through merge conflicts.

**Recommendations to others considering WebStorm:**

Amazing product, just give it one day to learn the shortcuts

**What problems is WebStorm solving and how is that benefiting you?**

It helps me cleanup unused code, lots of shortcuts and tooltips.

  ### 26. Powerful IDE for web development

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Matheus B. | Software Engineer, Computer Software, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 16, 2019

**What do you like best about WebStorm?**

First of all, it's a very familiar IDE for anyone who has used other JetBrains products such as IntelliJ. Using the same interface and keyboard shortcuts can be surprisingly helpful for productivity. All useful features, like the powerful refactoring, are there. 

**What do you dislike about WebStorm?**

Unless you're working on a huge project, WebStorm might be TOO powerful - it uses a lot of resources on your machine, which might be noticeable when you need to run several other tools at the same time. 

**Recommendations to others considering WebStorm:**

There's a free trial on the website. You can also use other free IDEs from JetBrains (such as IntelliJ) to get an idea on how it works.

**What problems is WebStorm solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We are using WebStorm as the main IDE for our web project, which contains lots and lots of lines of code. Using templates, smart auto-completion and refactoring are essential to maintain productivity at scale.

Writing client-side languages like Javascript (Vanilla JS, Angular) and Markup Languages (HTML && CSS) in a very cool fast and efficient environment. The debugger of WebStorm has really saved my life, there is nothing more ugly than using browser's developer tools for debugging.

  ### 28. Good for web dev

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Christina S. | Prêt à sortir du terrain, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** March 17, 2019

**What do you like best about WebStorm?**

For the maximum part, it could track the locations of all function calls and variables, so I can ctrl + click to visit a function. This could be very well presented and improve my workflow. They register as inspections and are customizable via the IDE settings.

**What do you dislike about WebStorm?**

The tracking is not ideal. Perhaps for extension functions, a load is sought. This utility is proprietary and therefore cannot be modified, freely distributed, or approved for security reasons.

  ### 31. Best Tool for JavaScript So far

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Muhammad Umar I. | Senior Software Engineer , Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 01, 2019

**What do you like best about WebStorm?**

I likely use many tools innitially for JavaScript editing. like Atom and MSCode. but they lake the basic intelligence of Javascript.
then I feel alot easy to develope JS from when I start using WebStorm.
recomended IDE for Frontend languages like JS, HTML and CSS.
also its extendable by huge plugin options

**What do you dislike about WebStorm?**

Little bit memory eater. It needs more RAM in order work smooth. but in new technological era Memory is not an expensive issue. so quite affordable.

  ### 32. I once loved WebStorm

**Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Kyle H. | Senior Software Engineer, Computer Software, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 23, 2019

**What do you like best about WebStorm?**

When I was learning JavaScript, WebStorm provided a fantastic IDE to get started; syntax highlighting and identifying issues was incredibly helpful for a beginner. There was also a range of other features in the IDE that I used on occasion; I didn't get to make full use of it as my primarily IDE but I knew it was always capable of more and that's what I loved about it.

**What do you dislike about WebStorm?**

Over the years, similar alternatives have become available that rival WebStorm. VSCode provides everything WebStorm offers and I personally find it a little faster when starting and loading a new project into the IDE. WebStorm still feels like an Enterprise IDE, instead of a fast and useful tool.

**Recommendations to others considering WebStorm:**

WebStorm is great if you are already familiar with the Jetbrains ecosystem, otherwise, there are better/free alternatives like VsCode. If you have purchased as part of the suite, then you will likely benefit from the value it offers. For a beginner/hobbist learning/implementing any frontend tech stack,  you might find you are overwheled a little with everything WebStorm offers. Most of it, you may not need until you become a power use of the IDE and proficcent in the stack.

**What problems is WebStorm solving and how is that benefiting you?**

It was fantastic whilst working on an Angular 1.4 project. It allowed me to stay within the IntelliJ ecosystem where key bindings and the editor were familiar. This was incredibly useful when switching between multiple languages and editors.

  ### 33. "WebStorm is an extraordinary resource for growing vast scale web applications"

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Mike D. | Java Software Engineer, Computer Software, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 15, 2019

**What do you like best about WebStorm?**

WebStorm incorporates a huge amount of efficient highlights, yet I'd spare live layouts are on of my top choices. I can without much of a stretch make custom code pieces with factors to be filled in at whatever point I utilize the scrap, which spares a ton on keystrokes. For instance, I have a format to make another API strategy where I give the filename, include the bit, and press tab a couple of times. The majority of the standard code gets included, the capacity name is produced from the document name, and I can concentrate on simply composing the application logic.Another of my most loved highlights is the Git Rebase usefulness. WebStorm makes rebasing a breeze; when you begin the rebase procedure it prompts you when there are clashes, enabling you to consolidate them utilizing the excellent inherent 3-way blend instrument (which incorporates grammar featuring and ESlint support) at that point consequently continues with the rebase once all contentions are settled. 

Other extraordinary highlights incorporate the TypeScript and Vue support, just as implicit mix with outsider apparatuses, for example, ESlint, TSlint, and Prettier.

**What do you dislike about WebStorm?**

A large portion of my nitpicks are entirely minor. For instance, while WebStorm underpins both CSS modules in css and scss document and Vue single-record segments, it doesn't bolster CSS modules inside Vue SFC <style> labels. 

Likewise, WebStorm can get pretty memory substantial in expansive activities, once in a while going over 2GB of RAM utilization per open venture. 

Another long-standing inconvenience for me is that on Windows squeezing CTRL+C in Webstorm's worked in terminal doesn't generally end applications.

**Recommendations to others considering WebStorm:**

This program is superb, it is exceedingly prescribed and my organization is embracing the measures for the procurement of this product and introduce it in all workstations. Those of us who have utilized this product are truly fulfilled, the main point against is the cost, however it merits making the speculation.

**What problems is WebStorm solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We use WebStorm as our essential IDE for creating web applications and have utilized it on various ventures. The full-venture TypeScript incorporation alone has spared us endless hours and kept various deformities. The majority of the highlights consolidate to give us a choice device for programming advancement.

  ### 34. Powerful, clean & user-friendly IDE for development

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Lakshay S. | Software Engineer, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 12, 2019

**What do you like best about WebStorm?**

There are a variety of features that make this IDE stand out from all the ones available in the market.

1. Customized themes for low light and dark light environments such as Dracula & Light.
2. Integration with various version control systems such as Git, Github, Mercurial etc.
3. Auto Completion of text is really helpful in coding.
4. Creation of custom code templates and snippets and use of suggested variable names is a huge plus.
5. Running and debugging of code is quick and easy.
6. Multiple plugins for various frameworks and languages and support for Chrome/Firefox for web development.

**What do you dislike about WebStorm?**

There is not much to dislike apart from a bit slow boot time for the application and memory consumption on low configuration systems.

**Recommendations to others considering WebStorm:**

This tool provides numerous enhancements and features to create high-quality code that could be easily migrated and read as per the business requirements and allows the developers to efficiently code and deliver.

**What problems is WebStorm solving and how is that benefiting you?**

The business our organization serves involved strict rules and regulations regarding the quality of code such as the nomenclature, indentations and code structure. With inbuilt custom templates and ease of use, the developers efficiently produced high-quality code that could easily be debugged.

  ### 35. WebStorm is a great asset for developing large-scale web applications

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Ashley R. | Sr. Software Developer, Marketing and Advertising, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 23, 2018

**What do you like best about WebStorm?**

WebStorm includes a ton of time-saving features, but I'd save live templates are on of my favorites. I can easily create custom code snippets with variables to be filled in whenever I use the snippet, which saves a ton on keystrokes. For example, I have a template to create a new API method where I provide the filename, add the snippet, and press tab a few times. All of the boilerplate code gets added, the function name is generated from the file name, and I can focus on just writing the application logic.
Another of my favorite features is the Git Rebase functionality. WebStorm makes rebasing a breeze; once you start the rebase process it prompts you when there are conflicts, allowing you to merge them using the stellar built-in 3-way merge tool (which includes syntax highlighting and ESlint support) then automatically proceeds with the rebase once all conflicts are resolved.
Other great features include the TypeScript and Vue support, as well as built-in integration with 3rd party tools such as ESlint, TSlint, and Prettier. 

**What do you dislike about WebStorm?**

Most of my nitpicks are pretty minor. For example, while WebStorm supports both CSS modules in css and scss file and Vue single-file components, it doesn't support CSS modules inside Vue SFC <style> tags.
Also, WebStorm can get pretty memory heavy in large projects, sometimes going over 2GB of RAM usage per open project.
Another long-standing annoyance for me is that on Windows pressing CTRL+C in Webstorm's built-in terminal doesn't always terminate applications.

**What problems is WebStorm solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We use WebStorm as our primary IDE for developing web applications and have used it on numerous projects. The full-project TypeScript integration alone has saved us countless hours and prevented numerous defects. All of the features combine to provide us with a top-notch tool for software development.

  ### 36. WebStorm

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Hardik R. | Software Engineer, Information Technology and Services, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 13, 2018

**What do you like best about WebStorm?**

1. Local File history is like blessings for me in many times. :)
2. Code Debugging is very smooth.
3. Best part is auto correct options if write wrong syntax it gives you hint that you should use this instead of.
4. integrated Version control system saves my lot of time to resolve conflicts and side by side difference system.
5. Customisable theme options is very cool and I can work in low light as well.   

**What do you dislike about WebStorm?**

- Sometimes auto formatter creates big problem in my case and it's not free although you can have trail version for month but price is little bit high.

**Recommendations to others considering WebStorm:**

There are n number of tools for the development but for the front end development I believe this is the best. You can have only one tool which gives extension to version control to local file history and local server as well.  It has huge community and there are many plugins readily available to use with webstrom.

**What problems is WebStorm solving and how is that benefiting you?**

- It is very easy to adapt for any user. It reduces my development time compare to other IDE.  There are n numbers of tool for web development but this one is best among all.

  ### 37. Really awesome IDE focussed on JS based web-development

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Viraj A. | Software Engineer, Computer Software, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 26, 2019

**What do you like best about WebStorm?**

WebStorm provides superior debugging options, has lot of features that helps developers to writer much neater code improving code quality quite a much. Internal static code analysis helps capture basic code improvements before the code goes into more serious level enterprise code analysis tool. Code suggestions are really good wherein latest ES6 or such standards are taken care of for developers. Provides lots of browser features inside IDE itself which is cool for testing/debugging.

**What do you dislike about WebStorm?**

Documentation/Diagram generation tools could be made more robust confirming to industry adopted standards so that the diagrams actually represent whats coded. Static code analysis could be made even better. 

**Recommendations to others considering WebStorm:**

Better UML diagrams support which could be easily incorporated as part of documentation confirming to various industry standards. Incorporating even more JS frameworks out there.

**What problems is WebStorm solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Enterprise JS based front end web-applications development. Improvements in code review cycles, actually shortening it to release features for testing earlier. Strong debugging/testing  features covers more testing scenarios to be addressed earlier in development.

Pros:
-Integrated Version control system saves me lots of time to resolve conflicts and see different systems side by side.
-Customisable theme options are very cool and I can work in low light as well.
-Faster than other IDE using angular 2

It takes too much RAM sometimes I see notifications about memory limits, i know 4Gb it is not much in 2019 but still ... the only real cons is that isn't FREE

**Recommendations to others considering WebStorm:**

 Those of us who have used this software are really satisfied, the only point against is the price but it is worth making the investment. Try for a month and decide yourself.

**What problems is WebStorm solving and how is that benefiting you?**

As programmer and it is my daily tool for programming when it comes to angular/angularJS. It saves me a lot of time and effort for the autocomplete that it has incorporated.

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Mukul C. | Sofware Developer, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 24, 2018

**What do you like best about WebStorm?**

1. all shortcuts ctrl+alt+L and all your code is formatted.
2. Material UI, helps me work longer
3. AutoComplete shows me what I can use and what I can't.
4. Version Control helps me properly manage my files and add/commit them after checking proper difference and making it easier for me, making sure only right stuff gets uploaded.
5. Debugging is very easy on webstorm. Even when you are not using debugger and you write something wrong, it shows you right away that you have written something wrong.

**What do you dislike about WebStorm?**

To be honest, Auto formatting sometimes makes the file very long.

**Recommendations to others considering WebStorm:**

It is a great tool, and all level users can use it without a second thought. I started using it a year ago and it was adaptable from day 1, but it so features rich that sometimes I discover new features even today.

**What problems is WebStorm solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I am using it for my website development using vue.js
It's terrific for rapid development, debugging and it shows you right there when you are writing something wrong. Very beneficial.
Yarn auto detects the package.json changes and auto installs the missing packages.
Overall you can just do rapid development with it.


  ### 40. Pretty easy and cool for java script frameworks

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Entertainment | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 16, 2019

  ### 44. Awesome Editor For Ionic

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Leisure, Travel & Tourism | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 11, 2018

**What do you like best about WebStorm?**

I code in Ionic using Webstorm and it's such a delight. Webstorm automatically adds import statements when you use a module or file. You can open multiple terminals at a time and has good Git integration. The plugins it supports make it easy to use for many web languages.

**What do you dislike about WebStorm?**

Wish was a better getting started tutorial to customize your environment when you load a project in it. I had to look up online to get some of the settings figured out. Other than that, It was easy to use and didn't have major issues.

**Recommendations to others considering WebStorm:**

Watch a brief tutorial and test the product. Once you're comfortable, you'll be bound to buy it.

**What problems is WebStorm solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Using Webstorm to code my hybrid web app. Ther auto import statement feature is really a blessing when using many modules /files.

  ### 45. Best Javascript 

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 20, 2019

**What do you like best about WebStorm?**

JetBrains makes really awesome and intuitive tools. I like WebStorm because it makes JavaScript development easier with its intellisense. The debug and testing tools are also really simple to use. Really like the compatibility with html/css.

**What do you dislike about WebStorm?**

I wish that it had support for Liquid, since I use that a lot more these days, even if it was just a plugin for the program. Otherwise can't really say anything bad, really like it.

**Recommendations to others considering WebStorm:**

We didn't need to use WebStorm at work but since I'm already a fan of JetBrains and use their other tools regularly (IntelliJ rocks!) I figured I'd give it a go and haven't looked back since. I think developing, modifying existing code, and testing are simplified and love this IDE.

**What problems is WebStorm solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I use this to work on websites. One thing I like is being able to see definitions on the fly as tooltips, so any time I come across a new library I don't have to do anything extra. Especially helpful when making modifications to existing sites or need to test functionality! Also works with GitHub.

  ### 46. No other app is better than WebStorm for code editing

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Seejan D. | Chief Architect, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 14, 2018

**What do you like best about WebStorm?**

Code editing capabilities are state of the art and leave dust to the competitors - refactoring of classes, functions and methods, renaming of files
Text handling is really good - moving words between locations and even entire functions can be moved

**What do you dislike about WebStorm?**

Indexing can sometimes take time, and is not performed in the background but rather in the foreground, so the end user gets a stuck app and cannot work properly during that time. This should be performed in the background instead
Transpiling sometimes takes some to run and is also done in the foreground and not in the background, which also causes the app to get stuck

**Recommendations to others considering WebStorm:**

With no doubt I would use it for web dev - it is much better than the alternatives out there

**What problems is WebStorm solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Development of websites and other web apps
Benefits are editing capabilities, refactoring, text handling and transpiling

  ### 47. WebStorm is a beast when it comes to programming.

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Aroa C. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 13, 2018

**What do you like best about WebStorm?**

I love the intelligent auto-complete, it comes pre-configured with almost all languages, the console within the IDE is essential, as well as the support for most of the frameworks currently used. The user interface is highly customizable and has a large number of themes to enhance the physical appearance.

**What do you dislike about WebStorm?**

Sometimes it can feel a bit limited regarding customization or implementation of custom features, especially if you are used to working with open-source IDEs.

**Recommendations to others considering WebStorm:**

This program is excellent, it is highly recommended, the purchase of this software is advised. They even offer a free 1-year student license or a 30-day trial, so better try and see how wonderful this tool is.

**What problems is WebStorm solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I am a programmer and it is my daily programming tool. It saves me a lot of time and effort thanks to the auto-completion it has built-in, like all in the Storm series.

  ### 48. Using it for basically everything I do

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Frank S. | Web Software Engineer, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 12, 2018

**What do you like best about WebStorm?**

WebStorm is the best IDE for Internet-related projects, with capabilities to work in so many environments - JS, TypeScript, Dart, CSS, HTML
Syntax highlighting is so powerful and efficient, compared to other IDEs like Atom

**What do you dislike about WebStorm?**

When working with languages that require transpiling to Javascript (such as Typescript), Webstorm gets stuck many times, causing the computer to freeze and prevents me from being able to work

**Recommendations to others considering WebStorm:**

Integrate it with NPM to get a better experience when downloading and exploring dependencies 

**What problems is WebStorm solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Working with Web-related technologies like JS, TS. Benefits include navigation, syntax highlighting, symbols lookup, that are unprecedented and are much better than in other alternatives

  ### 49. The best Editor

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** jose luis M. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 10, 2018

**What do you like best about WebStorm?**

I've been using the "Storm" series products for a while now, and I can say they are very stable and constantly updated. I can make the best use of them to build what I imagine. I can't do without it. Before I came across these products, I didn't have a favorite IDE to use over another. Now, however, when I have to use a PC that isn't mine, I immediately install WebStorm! The best!

**What do you dislike about WebStorm?**

In the previous paragraph, I mentioned the positive aspects of the software, now instead I discuss the negative sides. When I started using it, I had some problems with the installation of plugins, perhaps even to display PHP in addition to HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Despite this, I found the solution to my problems by doing a bit of research on the Internet. I found a guide and everything went well.

**Recommendations to others considering WebStorm:**

This program is excellent, it is highly recommended, and my company is taking steps to acquire this software and install it on all workstations. Those of us who have used this software are really satisfied, the only downside is the price, but it is worth making the investment.

**What problems is WebStorm solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I use it whenever there is a need compared to competitors, it is very smooth and the output is instantaneous. Very fast in any matter.

  ### 50. WebStorm is your IDE if you are a web developer

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Jose F. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 19, 2018

**What do you like best about WebStorm?**

I believe that the best discrete feature of Webstorm is that when you need to pursue a contention of the base capacity, it can be done with a click of the mouse.

**What do you dislike about WebStorm?**

Honestly, there is nothing I didn't like about Webstrom. One thing that is a torment is the paid membership. It is minimally costly for the "juniors". I imagine we should keep this IDE free for at least the "juniors".

**Recommendations to others considering WebStorm:**

It is justified, despite all the problems. It is the best IDE for the advancement of programming. There is a debugger/preservation within the IDE. Everything is adjustable within the configuration GUI (there is no configuration document to learn and maintain, the IDE does it for you).

**What problems is WebStorm solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Device to effectively include unsupported structures and APIs. It has business reinforcements for some structures (respond, rakish, hub, require, and some more).
