I'm going to take a wild guess and suggest this was driven by the CFO trying to provide better predictive earnings to their shareholders. It may also enable them to plan developer recruitment better but this feels very shareholder driven. Personally, Webstorm is exceptional and worth every penny.

> Webstorm is exceptional and worth every penny. Webstorm was heavily discounted compared to the other specialised IDEs (mostly because other specialised ones included Webstorm's features, at least before AppCode and CLion) That has been rectified, Webstorm is now 99/year and completely worthless (since RubyMine, PHPStorm and PyCharm give you Webstorm + a "server" language for the same price)

      Well I'm not sure why you would put "server" in quotes.

        Because they're not solely for web servers, and because as you so astutely noted javascript can be used in a server role.
