WebStorm Reviews

There are no shortage of IDEs available on the market at any given time, but there is always a shortage of good ones. WebStorm is one of these, if you happen to be developing web applications. It works well for all types of web applications, whether you are developing a frontend or a Node.js server. WebStorm's coding tools are first-rate, especially its intelligent code completion solution and its real-time error detection. Its debugger is also excellent, allowing you to precisely resolve issues regardless of what type of application you are developing or how complex this application is. WebStorm also integrates well with just about any web development tool you can imagine. It is especially well integrated with a whole range of version control systems. Finally, the software is very affordable, especially for individual developers, and it is also very customizable. All this does not mean that WebStorm is flawless. It can be slow and it uses quite a lot of memory. The latter is a particular issue because the IDE cannot load multiple projects at the same time. Instead, it loads multiple instances of the IDE, which can quickly eat your computer's resources. You also cannot import a project from a remote server. Still, in spite of its drawbacks, WebStorm is an IDE every serious web developer should consider.
