"Excellent HTML JavaScript code editor"

5/5

What do you like best about WebStorm?

This powerful multi-code editor allows us to have greater control over the work to be done, in most cases, on applications, servers, and websites. The program includes multiple tools for code editing, such as previewing and marking options or errors in real-time as we develop the code, making it a fast editor with a very extensive code library for preselection. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WebStorm?

It would be good to add more options to preview the projects we are working on periodically and, why not, in real time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering WebStorm:

I recommend that you watch YouTube tutorials related to this program for the project you are going to undertake. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Sometimes in server area orders, they don't request certain types of web development or updating the site of our work area in communication with clients. That's when we use this program; it is very useful for us both in the server control area and in web design and application. This program helps us save time because with fewer errors, less work gets held up. It also functions as a method for detecting and solving errors from past projects when we didn't have this program yet. It is useful because when we are editing code, it has the option to show us predefined options to speed up editing, but what helps us the most is the timely detection of code errors.

"WebStorm is a development environment with impressive JavaScript features"

4.5/5

What do you like best about WebStorm?

The customization options, the wide variety of plugins and the error prediction tools are the features that I like the most about WebStorm. Also, I am comfortable using the same interface on all JetBrains products, as it is stylish and friendly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WebStorm?

You will surely find that the performance that WebStorm requires from a computer is high. It is not an application to use with less than 4 GB of RAM. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering WebStorm:

WebStorm is a highly competitive IDE for JavaScript programming. You can integrate it with Git. I recommend it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The main reason I use WebStorm is because it can detect when I am writing some of the code wrong. Automatically detects all errors and suggests possible solutions. Also, it has very powerful tools for JavaScript, which is the language where I write websites and apps. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"One of the my best to-go to development tool"

4/5

What do you like best about WebStorm?

For years, webstorm has been my no.1 development tool. The tools auto completion engine is unmatched. It has an intuitive yet easy to navigate UI with a plethora of features. What I love most the ability to integrate WS with JSIint and JSHint through npm.

Besides, instead of creating an express server, you can use the inbuilt web server. It helps in easy creation of web files. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WebStorm?

Besides having Greta features, the cost is not easily affordable compared to alternative development tools.

Additionally, it needs good computer processing speed otherwise you will experience slow speeds. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering WebStorm:

If you’re a beginner, this might be the best IDE for you. However, for gurus in programming field, WS should be your to go to IDE. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I use the tool IDE for code maintenance and initialization. For development cycles it’s one of my best IDEs Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A very useful code editor with many tools"

4.5/5

What do you like best about WebStorm?

This is a very versatile code editor which serves to edit what refers to programming codes especially dedicated to web pages, html, php or java, which allows us to change between one and the other among its multiple tools that we It allows both a debugger, a self-complement library for fast writing and real-time error stopping, this editor is widely used in various types of use both web design and server management to edit the codes to send, its design is intuitive and It allows us to differentiate what refers to different colors in the command lines, which allows us to focus more on the speed of the projects we carry out Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WebStorm?

I think a good way to edit would be to have the preview combined with the editor to analyze everything at the same time according to what we are editing Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering WebStorm:

You can always find courses on this program, especially there free courses that I recommend that the same company of this program is the one that gives them, Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

In the company they always send us a set of packages of scripts or complete projects which we focus on improving them or finding errors, since these have to do with different types of web services as well as packages to send to servers, this program Allows you to import and insert multiple scripts in a code already made to then export it already complete, or do some debugging as appropriate Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"The best Integrated Development Environment for Web Applications"

4.5/5

What do you like best about WebStorm?

- Webstorm incorporates Nodejs integration to allow for debugging, running, and unit testing of nodejs applications

- There is an amazing implementation for code refactoring which helps to ensure that code can be easily maintained by tidying and cleaning it. Webstorm is very helpful here as it automatically refactors the code by performing functions on it such as extracting variables and methods, detection of functions, and moving files.

- It also integrates popular code quality (linting) tools such as JSHint and JSLint while others can be installed using npm. These tools are registered as inspections and can be customized within webstorm's settings

- There is a built-in web server in webstorm (as can be found in other jetbrains products) that can be ussed to serve files instead of creating an express server or any other kind of code that serves files. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WebStorm?

- Webstorm is a premium application that costs a lot and does not make a lot of sense for startups especially when there are many alternatives that offer almost the same features. And even if you pay for the license, it does not allow you to modify the software in a way that you can call your own.

- It also occasionally registers slow performance but this is mostly dependant on your computers resources. If you have more than enough (say 8gb, 4 cores plus) then you won't ever experience any performance issues Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering WebStorm:

This is definitely not a an IDE for absolute beginners and you must have some background in writing code and dealing with IDEs to get the most out of it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I needed an editor that I could rely on to abstract a lot of my development cycles such as npm and project initialization together with code maintenance and this IDE fit that profile well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"For many years, webstorm has been my best development tool"

5/5

What do you like best about WebStorm?

Webstorm is my tool by choice, it allows me to be more efficient and to work faster, Its completion engine is just amazing, and all the different features it has are always amazing.

I love how it is easy to arrange all windows in different monitors.

Webstorm comes packed with amazing utilities that will make any developer more efficient on windows, mac, or Linux. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WebStorm?

Price, price, price. It comes to a very expensive but amazing tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering WebStorm:

Give it a try, check the keyboard cheatsheet and become better and faster developing your software.

It is costly but is for a reason, tools like VS Code are still far away from bringing the same functionality. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The main problem solved is increasing my performance as a developer. While developing, it will be helpful with code insights and finding what you look for to become better each day.

Also, it's probably the best tool I have used for debugging, and it helps to find errors if you learn how to use it fully. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"The best IDE for web development"

4/5

What do you like best about WebStorm?

- Native nodejs integration which allows for unit testing, debugging and running nodejs applicaitons

- SUpport for code refactoring so that code can be easily maintained. Webstorm can extract variables, functions, move files and extract inline variables.

- Popular code quality tools are integrated by default in webstorm. Such tools are JSHint, JSLint, and my favourite, ESLint. These tools can be customized to meet the user's needs in Webstorm's settings.

- Intelligent code completion tools as witnessed in sister application, Phpstorm. There is both structural completion and word expansion; where the former refers to predicting based on the IDE's understanding of Javascript and the latter means suggesting the current word being typed depending on the previously typed words.

- The built in webserver is defnitely a plus because changes to code can be viewed instantly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WebStorm?

- Performs slowly from time to time. It is infamous for its high rates of CPU usage.

- Webstorm does not have a plugin repository that develops as rapidly as the one on vs code. You will find many plugin options for a particular problem from which you can choose whichever works for you in vs code. That is not the same with webstorm that has much fewer plugins Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering WebStorm:

I will encourage you to give webstorm a try with the free 30 day window that comes with jetbrains proucts. This way, if you are not satisfied, you can ditch it after the period. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We use webstorm as the main IDE for writing our web applications because of its comprehensive support for the javascript language Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"The perfect IDE for ful stack web development"

5/5

What do you like best about WebStorm?

i have been using a relatively uncommon javascript framework for UI, svelte, which is still not supported by most editors or IDEs. One of the most amazing things was when I downloaded the svelte project I was working on and opened it as webstorm project and it asked me if I wanted to install support for svelte as a language. That kind of IDE intelligence is something to be amazed at because there is always a guarantee that your IDE will support most of the technologies you choose to work with. This is my experience with webstorm.

Also, just to mention, webstorm also has an integrated terminal within it on which you can perform several operations.

Lastly, unike with other editors where you have to install file icons, Webstorm offers default icons that are both excellent and intuitive which makes flle identification simpler Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WebStorm?

I can't actually find something I dislike about webstorm. Most people mention that it could be slow to start but that's to be expected considering the fact that this is a full IDE which has a lot of functionality that it comes with by default. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering WebStorm:

After getting used to the IDE and knowing how to maximise your efforts on it, you will never regret the decision to use it Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Our company is in the process of shifting our system using sveltejs and the support that Webstorm has for the framework is quite frankly amazing. We have tried using other text editors but none of them has offered as extensive support as Webstorm currently has. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
