I'm a long time user of Webstorm and have used things like ReSharper in the past. Hands down the best IDE I've used. VS Code is really really great, but I've found that it's a bit like WordPress: good out of the box; better with a butt load of extensions.

Trouble is, the extensions bog it down and I found I was getting performance issues and random problems with things like autocomplete and so on.

However, back to JetBrains and Webstorm. Absolutely love it. It feels like a more grown up, well-rounded IDE with superb autocomplete and function linking and referencing. It has so much support for various languages and tooling built in, and yes, it is a little slower to boot up than, say VS Code or Sublime, but once up and running, it's very performant.
