Webstorm has intelligent code completion using both structural and word expansion where the latter makes predictions based on the previously typed text whereas the former predicts the next words based on webstorm understanding of the language (javascript mostly) being used. Both of these types of auto completion work magnificently and help to ease your prgramming tasks.

If you are not yet familiar with git or mercurial, webstorm still helps you to track changes in your file And keeps a history of these changes.It maintains a local history of the changes so that you can roll back to them any time.

As is common in most Jetbrains products, Webstorm boasts an amazing code refactoring implementation which helps you manage your code in a clean and tidy manner. It can help you extract variables and functions off of your messy code and you'll be left with a much simpler and efficient code.

Webstorm's intelligent code completion feature also helps lessen your work load. To make structural code completions, the IDE has to understand your Javascript objects and it does this so well.

And of course the built in webserver makes it easier to test your code i a serve-like environment and not call them through file// format; and this you achieve without installing additional plugins or writing more code. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes Webstorm becomes a bit sluggish and performs slowly and even though this is something you would expect from an IDE that takes up all the computer's resources, it still frustrates you as the user.

It is one of the best and most comprehensive editors currently available, with a great real-time error detection capability as we write the code, which helps a lot to maintain good syntax. One of the features of this program is its command library, which allows us to easily insert them into the code, and then proceed to debug it. The best part in this case is that we can do it as if we were the client. Additionally, its branched view allows us to see exactly where we want to make the edits as we conduct tests.

For those of us with more advanced knowledge in these topics, we might not be missing anything, but for new users, it would be advisable to have pre-installed codes ready to use and test in editing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Dreamweaver has better divided screen than Webstorm, that includes Desing and Code in the same Window, a feature like that is the only thing missing in Webstorm Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Webstorm integrated code quality tools such as JSHint, ESLint within it by default and this is very helpful because there are developers, especially new ones, who still don't know how to configure their linting files but can still benefit a lot from the default configurations by webstorm

Webstorm has support for typescript which enhances writing typed javascript applications. This kind of coding increases the intellisense for code completion and improves code refactoring

There is also support for karma which can enable you to carry out unit tests as well as monitor code coverage

Webstorm's Live Templates feature reduces the amount of code that can be repeated because the code snippets contain variables and can be reused thus increasing productivity Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As is the case with most jebtrains products, Webstorm occasionally exhibits slow performance and may not be very productive on machines with low RAM counts.

It's not possible to open multiple projects on the same webstorm window. To do so, you would have to open it in another instance and this will take a serious toll on not just your limited computer resources but also your laptop's battery's performance.

It is not open source so besides being required to pay for it, you can not also tweak its source code and use it how you wish. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
