I think this is largely a matter of where on the stack you tend to work. VSCode is significantly better than IntelliJ/WebStorm for JavaScript projects: jump to definition and the various refactorings are, IME, more reliable on development environments based on tsserver like VSCode.
- mekster 6y agoI work on TS only project but VS Code doesn't highlight my SQL queries and what part is significantly better? Genuinely want to know. I would switch if it really is.
- fiddlerwoaroof 6y agoI found (on a team with a mix of VSC and WebStorm users) that VSCode had better overall support for jump to definition and refactorings: the refactorings, in particular, were more accurate and were less likely to change irrelevant locations or leave usages unchanged. Also, at the time, prettier integrated into VSC better: that may have changed since. (This is mostly for Javascript: Typescript is more Java-like, so IntelliJ's tooling may be better there.)

- fiddlerwoaroof 6y agoI don’t know, I don’t really use or like Typescript. But, the reason I think IntelliJ may do better with Typescript is just that TS has a Java-like type system, so IntelliJ’s Design as a Java IDE may end up being an advantage.
