Actually it isn't. Webstorm is a memory hog. While there is a notable latency with VSCode, it doesn't feel like my computer is crashing each time I use it. Jetbrains products are great for Java,Python and PHP dev. Just not for Javascript development. Furthermore, VSCode obvious advantage is that it is written in JS, making it easier to develop custom plugins without the need of for complex Java SDK.
- spullara 10y agoBeing a memory hog and being a much better IDE are orthogonal to one another. Get more memory. It is so much better for Javascript development than the alternatives it is worth it.
- AsyncAwait 10y agoTrue, but it's not like VSCode isn't. After all, it's written in JS/TS on top of Electron.
- john_reel 10y agoIf you’re concerned about memory usage, VS Code should not be your first choice...
- nine_k 10y agoIf a program is unresponsive, while other memory-hungry programs aren't, the program is likely a CPU hog. Try turning off some of the inspections. Also, Webstorm being a Java program, you can control its memory consumption in the startup flags file, vm.options IIRC. Try giving it less memory. Or, if the settings are apparently way lower that the specs of your machine, consider giving it more memory.
