> lag issues & the clutter interface of Webstorm
I know a few developers who stick to editors like VSCode for those kind of reasons, but as it turns out, they actually never spent time learning how WebStorm works.
WebStorm and the rest of the JetBrains family of IDEs are extremely configurable, and speed is not an issue in my opinion: I've spent a lot of time programming with PHPStorm (including database servers and Web servers running in the background) with a 1.1ghz 12" MacBook.
In addition, it comes with batteries included. No need for plugins for what should be standard functionality.
Looking at them work, they could save so much time refactoring, jumping between code, clicking instead of using shortcuts, etc. that the investment would be paid back within at most a week.

Every Webstorm user talks about refactoring like a major feature for them but I found it not that useful personally, that's not a feature I would use anyway.
- arcturus17 8y agoWell let's just agree that one's mileage might vary on this, because I use both VSCode and IDEA, and whereas neither really has input lag on my machine, typing in IDEA somehow feels smoother thanks to some interface programming trick that I can't put my finger on.
