Both VS Code and WebStorm quickly format files on save, are customizable, and work well with autocomplete, debugging, and documentation.WebStorm automatically tracks all file changes out of the box, enabling inspection of file histories, directories, and rollbacks.This makes merging complex changes and resolving conflicts a lot easier. WebStorm provides amazing Git merge tools with great visualizations of the Git diff changes.WebStorm has most features out of the box, whereas with VS Code, you’ll probably need to install some extensions manually to test runners, get advanced language specific features etc.Other considerations for VS Code and WebStorm Pricing might discourage some developers from using WebStorm altogether, as it requires a monthly or yearly subscription fee after the 30 day trial period.īeing open-source, VS Code takes price out of decision-making altogether. WebStorm’s highlights: it’s a highly comprehensive and intelligent IDE for easy running, debugging, and unit testing of Node.js apps, plus it has good code refactoring and auto importing. WebStorm is an intuitive, paid, and licensed JavaScript IDE created for front-end development and server-side JavaScript by JetBrains.

On the ground, our most frequented choice of IDEs at Swimm is Visual Studio Code (VS Code) and WebStorm. But what we know is that even with an IDE favorite, switching IDEs is not at all uncommon. We know that most developers have a clear IDE preference, and it’s no different from our dev team here at Swimm. And our guess is that the debate for picking the best devtools will all be part of our conversations/discussions. Swimm developers discussing devtools - not uncommon at all.
