The best IDE for software development. Good level of customizability.
It is not free, even if the license fee is fair enough

Great IDE overall. The local history feature with labels is game changing and wonderful for ongoing development.
Support for React with Typescript could be better.

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).
- It is all completed Web Programming IDE. - It has lots of functions built-in. - Free for students.
- 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.

Overall, I liked it, it has many functions that help the developer.
This IDE works with several cutting edge technologies that contribute to its success and it has code analysis.
Is not installable on any personal computer.

WebStorm is overall a whole package for web development. I use it daily for both my work and side projects. I would prefer it to any other IDE or TextEditor.
Refactoring abilities of the application is great. Furthermore, WebStorm is highly extendable with plugins. Default UI is great as well and with themes it is customizable.
Since WebStorm has many features it is resource intensive application. Application can be optimized further for user's with low-end computers.

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

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
Un 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...
Avec 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

1) The IDE provides advanced HTML and CSS editing features, including syntax highlighting, code formatting, and live preview.2) Testing Tools Integration.3) WebStorm offers intelligent code completion, navigation, and analysis, helping developers write clean and efficient code.
1) While WebStorm offers a free 30-day trial, it is a commercial product, and a license is required for continued use.

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.
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.

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.
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.
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.

10/10
The 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.
As 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.

Easy to use even for beginners, full of features, it has a great code assistance that helps you code faster and so useful for those who are new to code, it is by far the best IDE i ever used.
It is not so happy when it runs on about 4gb RAM, it would be great if it could bootstrap project for some node.js frameworks like nest.js and tsed.io

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!
Powerful. 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.
For personal use - the price is prohibitive. Sometimes performance is not as smooth as it could be - especially while indexing.

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.
The 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.
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. 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).

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.
WebStorm 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.
From 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.
