Best Javascript IDE for developers
Webstorm is very easy to use, it has brilliant features that make coding easier and faster, and the ability to work faster through seamless code debugging. My favourite is the code with me feature.
CONSThere is no least favourite feature at the time of writing
Reasons for switching to WebStorm
Webstorm had more amazing features and tools.

An IDE for optimal front-end development
All in all, WebStrom is optimal for private use as well as for development in a team. In particular, however, it is suitable by the variety of offered templates just to set up a project and test. The versioning and code analysis supports the developer without patronizing and stopping the development process.
PROSWebStorm is particularly convincing due to its modular structure and user-friendliness. WebStrom takes up the modularity of frontend development and implements it in an IDE that is oriented towards the development process. WebStorm convinces by the customizability through plugins, by the possibility of versioning for private projects but also for team projects as well as by a comprehensive selection of framework templates. WebStorm also facilitates the development of high-quality code through the code analysis in the background, which supports the code and project structure through author completion and intelligent commenting.
CONSFrom time to time it is difficult to connect the debugger to newly started Docker containers. It is difficult to connect each newly started container with the debugger. It would be better if one debugger could be started per container.
Reason for choosing WebStorm
Since InteliJ builds the products uniformly you are always on the safe side. While Notepad++ is outdated and Visual Studio Code looks more like a better Microsoft Word, WebStrom is on the right side for frontend development in the InteliJ universe.

Webstorm Is Too Complex but Too Heavy
The program's opening time is too long (I'm using SSD) and it use too much RAM, but don't forget it, it is an IDE. I switched to VS Code because it is lightweight and it can be really functional with extensions. I wasn't use the lots of functions of WebStorm and VS Code has all i needs so I switched. It is all about your needing and computer (If you don't have enogh RAM, WebStorm will become a nightmare).
PROS- It is all completed Web Programming IDE. - It has lots of functions built-in. - Free for students.
CONS- Too heavy. For example when I use it, it was freeze for per 4-5 line. (PS: My computer has 8gb RAM). - Too complex and a bit old-fashion UI. - It hasn't enough community plugins.

Advanced web development tool
WebStorm brings advanced features to the coding process, plugins integrations, different languages support, and most importantly an advanced UI.
CONSThe indexing feature may get laggy sometimes and you'll have to restart the application to fix it.
Reasons for switching to WebStorm
Mostly Git integration and the software UI, WebStorm was way ahead in that part. Also, you rely on the terminal a lot while using Visual Code which I didn't find useful when some tasks can be done fast using just the interface in WebStorm.

A software engineer's (fullstack) point of view on Webstorm.
I use WebStorm for frontend application development. Mostly in Angular and React.
PROSWebStorm is in a class of its own. After downloading and installing it, you can start developing your application practically right away. You don't need to configure or install anything. Many plugins can be installed if needed. It is intuitive and complete.
CONSThe program is great but costs a bit. When running many projects it can be slow.
Reasons for switching to WebStorm
I was using a similar program IntelliJ Idea but changed to WebStorm because WebStorm is lighter and more dedicated to the frontend.

Great IDE for full stack development for Javascript projects
Overall it's been very positive. I have used webstorm for nearly 6 years now, never looked back and now I pay and use this product. It has really improved my development experience.
PROSGraphical user interface is best part for me. Easy git integration makes it elegant to work with Webstorm. Easy to install extra plugins. Debugging using the console very comfortable. Terminal integration with webstorm is also nice, makes it easier for me to work with.
CONSDocumentation for all the features and more upgrades would be welcome. GUI can made more elegant. Also more innovative products can be made using GIT website.
Reasons for switching to WebStorm
Found this product to be better.

Everything you need in One IDE
With Webstorm, you have a single tool to spin up your plain web projects, a react app, react-native app or simply install the framework plugin and get it bootstrapped
CONSMemory intensive, You need atleast a 16GB ram plus, if you do not close the app often and sleep your laptop with it, it hogs memory

Solution absolument merveilleuse pour le développement web
En tant que développeur web, je remercie WebStorm pour ce merveilleux produit car il s'agit d'un IDE complet où je peux développer, déployer, déboguer et même déboguer à distance. Grande expérience globale
PROSUn IDE de développement web complet avec toutes les fonctionnalités modernes qu'un IDE doit posséder comme le contrôle de version, l'accès à la base de données, le débogage sont si bons pour avoir une fonctionnalité pour l'environnement de développement web - Construit avec des fonctionnalités puissantes d'IntelliSense qui rendent le codage PHP vraiment génial aussi - Support pour un certain nombre de thèmes et de modules complémentaires, le développeur peut le personnaliser en fonction de ses propres besoins - la prise en charge de SSH et du terminal est prête à l'emploi, vous n'avez pas besoin de passer à d'autres applications de terminal pendant votre développement, comme pour utiliser les commandes git dans terminal ou accéder à SSH. - La prise en charge de l'enregistrement de fichiers en tant que modèles est tout simplement géniale. De plus, ses suggestions de codage à améliorer selon les normes et modèles de codage choisis sont excellentes. - Un grand nombre de raccourcis clavier intégrés ainsi que la fonctionnalité d'ajout de raccourcis personnalisés sont excellents - Il a des modules complémentaires pour prendre en charge différents frameworks. Ce qui est génial - Étant moi-même développeur web, il y a tellement de choses à apprécier WebStorm que je peux même écrire un livre à ce sujet
CONSAvec beaucoup de bonnes fonctionnalités, il y a aussi des problèmes, comme le chargement de projets volumineux. C'est parce qu'il indexe tous les fichiers pour une recherche plus rapide, mais parfois, si le système manque de mémoire, cela peut être très pénible car il peut devenir très lent - Certaines configurations comme les configurations de débogage peuvent être un peu plus difficiles pour les nouveaux utilisateurs, parfois ils peuvent avoir besoin de passer par beaucoup de recherches pour mettre en place un environnement de développement avec toutes les fonctionnalités - Ce n'est pas gratuit ou un peu cher par rapport à d'autres options disponibles

Best IDE on the market
WebStorm is, in my opinion, the best JS and TS IDE in the market. It has everything I need and sometimes much more. Everyone I met and talk about that agreed with me. To tell the truth, I cannot express how I like that software. I was using it in my work and my private projects. However, because of the price, I was forced to change my private IDE to another one, as soon as my student license for WebStorm expired. It was quite hard to get used to a program with fewer functionalities. One small disadvantage of the program itself - is it can lag during indexing - which can be annoying. All in all, I still use it in my work and I strongly recommend it for every Dev or QA!
PROSPowerful. Widely integrable. A huge load of built-in functions. Big plugin 'shop' with various plugins. Intuitive to use, with the possibility of complicated adjustments and changes - suited for the user.
CONSFor personal use - the price is prohibitive. Sometimes performance is not as smooth as it could be - especially while indexing.
Reasons for switching to WebStorm
Didn't need PHP support in my work.

I love this
For me webstorm is is the best IDE available in Jetbrains package. I have been using this for more than six years and I love coding with it. This software is always updated to the current standards and I think that's why it remains as the leader in the market.
PROSFirst of all, I love the interfaces and themes are very attractive. IDE supports some of the features like auto imports, availability of plenty of plugins, syntax error detection, easy repository integration, easy debugger and support multiple frameworks.
CONSWebstorm is expensive when comparing with other IDEs in the market. Need to have at least 8GB RAM because it is using memory a lot.

Is WebStorm a good IDE
Overall WebStorm is a great IDE, one of the best out there. I was introduced to WebStorm when I started my first year in Faculty. I have been using it since then and writing code, fixing bugs, and making fully functional web pages has never been easier and faster for me. I truly recommend you try out this software, especially if you are a student in the software development area.
PROSThe thing I like about this software is that it gives the students including me a free license to use this IDE and all of the other products of JetBrains. This is very helpful I believe for all the students that are in the computer software industry because with no money we get the privilege of using this awesome tech. Now let me say something about the functionality of WebStorm. It is truly a remarkable piece of software starting with the fact that is very user-friendly. Then you have the best code correction options out there. Not only does it tell you where should you change your code because there is an error or something is off, but it gives you multiple solutions and corrections for you to implement effortlessly with just a click.
CONSI don't think I can say something bad about this software except for the little hustle when you start your first project and opening projects, but there are a lot of tutorials in order to do that without any problems. Also for those who are not students, the price can be a little high for them when starting, but in my personal opinion, I think it is worth it to try out this software(there is a free trial period).

Why we need WebStorm
Finding bugs in a codebase is certainly necessary for us, thus we can run tests directly for some specific list of files see the reports. In the built-in terminal you we can run some pre defined npm or yarn tasks, even set some environment variables from WebStorm runner configuration and then give it a spin for different kind of environments.
PROSRich set of frontend related tools are mostly included into the pre-bundled plugins, which you can disable if you don't need autocompletion etc. not to consume memory
CONSNot so important though, it would be better to have some options to have some plugins to run application servers such as WebLogic, Tomcat etc. But not so necessary for frontend development since we can run similar stuff via command line
Reasons for switching to WebStorm
Finding all the necessary tools, plugins in a configurable way without losing speed due to unnecessary stuff.

WebStorm is an extremely handy development tool for UI development
More rapid development enables developers to create code rapidly and detect issues during the compilation process. It has support for Sonarqube and Prettify plugins to format the code. It features a plethora of plugins to boost your productivity. You must employ templates, clever auto-completion, and refactoring to assist system maintenance at scale.
PROSIt's great for Angular or React development, or indeed any javascript-based framework. Integration with code repositories and version control systems is excellent. It contains several shortcuts, an integrated debugger mode, and a variety of libraries for formatting code. It gives you a lot of advice and warns you about any faults you make while you write your code. It also enables us to validate the content of anything we send over FTP and take screenshots of remote servers.
CONSIt is more difficult and appears scary than Visual Studio code. It only has a small selection of colour and file icon themes. We can locate superior alternatives in low-cost markets and trade off a few characteristics. Its Windows version is nicely optimized, however, its Linux version did not meet my expectations.

The best choice when it comes to IDE's for front end development
10/10
PROSThe IDE is built in such an elegant way that when you develop you start worrying about the little things like auto imports, path resolution and auto complete. And everything comes out of the box too! No need to configure anything.
CONSAs for the features, I do not think I can add anything, I believe the team is doing awesome! The only thing is that it is paid, which stalled me to try it out, however since there is a free period, I did try it and I am still using Webstorm until this day. I cannot go back to another editor/IDE for front end development.
