I used to be such a huge WebStorm proponent, but when Visual Studio Code reached the point where it could handle all facets of front (and back-end) development, the rich ecosystem and fast pace of updates, I cancelled my Webstorm subscription and never looked back. Admittedly, it took me a while to ditch Webstorm, because I loved that editor. The remote development session feature is amazing in itself. I thought it was a gimmick at first, but since the pandemic hit, remote development has been a staple for our company. Being able to pair with juniors and seniors alike to collaboratively debug and code, it's game changing. There is nothing like it and the stability of the sessions is impressive.
What you get out-of-the-box without needing to install a single plugin is more than some. If you're working with TypeScript you get everything you need, including an in-built TypeScript compiler. All that being said, I still lean on Sublime Text Editor 3 when working with large files, which VSCode is still not perfect at dealing with. It's easy to forget that VSCode is an Electron app.
