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.

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.

It is an powerful tool, I really like its ease of use Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some of the features consume a lot of memory. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Their test configuration is really great!

personally, I find it really good because the low effort to configure tests to run against remote environments.

Once you configure some env you can keep it and with a click to move between envs.

It is TOO heavy and slow, I'm using an M2 MacBook pro and it still takes a lot of time to boot the app (comparing to other lean code editors as Sublime and VScode) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The thing I like the most about WebStorm IDE is it's extentions store. I find it very easy to search and download any extention I can think of, just by mentioning a keyword that relevant to it.

This allows me to use this IDE for anything I want, and because of that it became my daily driver. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find that Webstorm can be a bit slow when dealing with large repositories (because it scans all the files) compared to other free IDEs.. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

WebStorm boasts many features and functionalities, which can lead to a steeper learning curve compared to simpler IDEs. This can be a hurdle for beginners or users transitioning from other tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.

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.

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.

WebStorm offers a large collection of premium and non-premium plugins to assist with typical web development tasks and customization of the IDE. Besides the powerful plugin system WebStorm also has built-in coding assistance and an extremely helpful refactoring system. The latter allows our team to restructure large chunks of the codebase with confidence. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

WebStorm, like other JetBrains IDEs too, can be very resource intensive. Running WebStorm with a medium selection of plugins, your runtime environment and possibly your web application in a browser, means that you all of this will use up a fair amount of RAM and CPU cycles.

It is a great IDE for coding in almost any language. The application is straightforward to set up and has all the tools necessary to get you started. The inbuilt javascript support and debugging tools are all great. It also integrates well with Git and provides great diffing tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It takes a while to index files when adding a new workspace or restarting WebStorm after running for a long time. Once the indexing is done, there is no visible lag, so it is not a deal breaker. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
