Pros / Cons
  • I love the debugging tools, the remote file view, the ability to edit a remote file, and linking to github to name but a few
  • It’s a subscription-based paid IDE, which may be expensive compared to free editors like VS Code.

  • I 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.
  • 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.
