> It’s not. From the WebStorm page on JetBrains: > WebStorm The smartest JavaScript IDE WebStorm is an integrated development environment for JavaScript and related technologies. Like other JetBrains IDEs, it makes your development experience more enjoyable, automating routine work and helping you handle complex tasks with ease.

They come with a bunch of "pre-configurations". I used to have PyCharm, and now I've switched to IntelliJ. I can still do everything I could with PyCharm, which was itself a superset of WebStorm. Sure, some things are organized a bit differently, but basically, if you want to use multiple languages, just get IntelliJ, and you'll be set. It's cheaper than buying several other products, too. The only one that seems a bit different is CLion, in that it does things that IntelliJ doesn't, and vice-versa.

  I believe AppCode and Rider are more examples of JetBrains IDEs that do things that IntelliJ Ultimate can't.

    Appcode, Rider, CLion and Goland are not available as language plugins to other IDEs.

      Go most certainly is: https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/9568-go https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/9568-go but for the rest you are correct

      There's Golang plugin for Intellij Ultimate. https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/9568-go https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/9568-go

Right, your comment implies that you can't use e.g. Webstorm for non-JS development. You can, and it'll be a pretty darn good experience. Webstorm just happens to be optimized for web stuff, and there are other IDEs that are optimized for other things. So the answer to, "what if my employer has a repo of language X and then a different repo of Y?" is: it's very likely not a problem, because the IDEs are not as specialized as you're clearly imagining them to be.

  > pretty darn good experience At least when I last did this about two years ago, it wasn't. There are a ton of edge cases. For example, only CLion supported stepping through Rust in a debugger.
