I had never heard of WebStorm before, and on the wikipedia page, they seem to say that all of its functionalities are part of IntelliJ IDEA.
Is it true ?
If I buy IntelliJ IDEA, will I be able to do everything that can be done in WebStorm ? (just trying to not buy both if it is not necessary)
- robmcm 14y agoIt's my understanding that Idea can do everything the other products can do. The others are just cheaper as they have limited features. EDIT - From reading the comments I think appCode is separate but the others can be installed as plug-ins to IDEA, I presume for free.
- sparx 14y agoso true, and IDEA is worthy of every penny you will spend.
- tomku 14y agoIntelliJ IDEA has the functionality of all of their other products except appCode available as plugins, but the plugins aren't necessarily as up-to-date as the standalone products. The plugin version usually gets updated a couple months after a major version of the standalone product is released, in my experience. For example, the plugin list for my copy of IntelliJ Ultimate 11 (cheap upgrade to 12 incoming, woo) shows a PHP plugin whose description says "PhpStorm/WebStorm 4.0.3 version". PhpStorm 5 was released in September, but a lot of the IntelliJ plugins for its features haven't seen an update since then. Edit: Upgraded to IDEA 12, and it looks like the bundled plugins contain full WebStorm 5 functionality.
