### "I love this"

February 12, 2023

5.0

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.

Pros

First 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.

Cons

Webstorm is expensive when comparing with other IDEs in the market. Need to have at least 8GB RAM because it is using memory a lot.

### "Best web IDE?"

January 24, 2023

5.0

Pros

I find it one of the best web IDEs. It is rather expensive, but it completes the Intellij product family.

Cons

Sometimes quite challenging to get things out of it - UI wise.

### "IDE that I'm using daily"

March 31, 2023

5.0

This is the IDE that I used to develop angular projects. Earlier I have used two IDEs but with some of their limitations I was ended up with using webstorm.

Pros

Webstorm is a powerful IDE that supports multiple programming languages and frameworks. This gives features like code auto completion, debugging and version control tool integration. I love this as much as I love all other jetbrain products.

Cons

The only thing that I see as a concern is the price.

### "WebStorm è uno strumento fantastico"

January 10, 2023

5.0

Pros

Solitamente utilizzavo programmi gratuiti (di cui non faccio il nome) e appena ho aperto WebStorm ho notato una differenza pazzesca nella gestione di qualsiasi dettaglio. Tutto è più robusto e sono presenti infinite funzionalità già preinstallate. Inoltre, le varie funzionalità si interlacciano molto bene tra di loro.

Cons

Nessuna funzionalità in particolare mi ha lasciato insoddisfatto

### "webstorm - review"

September 27, 2021

5.0

Pros

I find everything I want using WebStorm, everything about the JavaScript ecosystem, the plug-in and more. I have all things in my hands. The terminal, package manager, etc

Cons

Because he has so many things I get lost in some features and his tutorial doesn't teach much more than the basics.

### "A software engineer's (fullstack) point of view on Webstorm."

June 29, 2022

5.0

I use WebStorm for frontend application development. Mostly in Angular and React.

Pros

WebStorm 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.

Cons

The program is great but costs a bit. When running many projects it can be slow.

Switched from

[IntelliJ IDEA](https://www.capterra.com/p/136010/IntelliJ-IDEA/)

I was using a similar program IntelliJ Idea but changed to WebStorm because WebStorm is lighter and more dedicated to the frontend.

### "Universal IDE for Web Development"

August 5, 2022

5.0

Pros

I liked the fact that you can code pretty much the whole Web App using Webstorm. The learning curve is quite steep but it is worth it in the long-term.

Cons

Heaviness - it turned out not to be usable on my old windows machine, but works really fine on Macbook M1.

### "The Smartest IDE For JS Developers"

October 15, 2023

5.0

Pros

WebStorm is a powerful IDE by JetBrains specialized in JavaScript and JavaScript framework development. It comes with a lot of developer tools, such as linters, formatters, debugging tools, terminal, and refactoring tools. It analyzes all of the project in the start, and finds all references, usages, and provides improvement suggestions and problems. It is an amazing tool for professional development.

Cons

As WebStorm analyzes all of the files and directories at the start, it needs some time to find references and index the entire project, which can lead to a long boot time. It is not a beginner friendly IDE, with lots of features spread out through the IDE. So, unless the developer has other JetBrains product experience, it will take some time to get used to. It is also a heavy application which takes up a lot of the computer's power and can cause crashes on older machines.
