Finally found a Jetbrains user 🤩.
I have a background of Android development, so when I tried VS Code I just couldn't get used to it.
Since then I have been using WebStorm for web development and it hasn't failed me once.
It is true that WebStorm is much more resource intensive than VS Code but my system can handle it so I am happy with it.
I've actually found that VS Code is way more resource hungry than Webstorm. After loading up a large project I'm working on Webstorm consumes about 700MB of memory whilst the same project in VS Code consumes 1.3GB of memory.
Also, though it takes a while, when Webstorm has indexed the project it makes it very snappy to search / navigate around.
Huge fan of Webstorm to be honest. So many things just work nicely out of the box.
+1, another Intellij/Webstorm user here. I use Intellij mainly for Elixir development, and Webstorm for any JS related work.
They keyboard navigation is so good! I've tried to go back to vscode a few times and just couldn't make it stick. Once you get used to doing everything with the keyboard in Jetbrains apps it's hard to feel as comfortable in other editors.

That is unexpected. Cool though!
Agreed. Once WebStorm finishes indexing then it knocks every ball out of the park. No competitions 💪
