Despite its resource consumption behaviour I have fallen in love with WebStorm, its the best when come to write Javascript application, analyse code have never been this easy.

To mention few here are the features:

  1. Intelligent coding assistance
  2. Debugging, tracing and testing
  3. Local history
  4. Version Control Systems etc

The VCS features are the hardest for me to give up for VS Code. There is an extension for local history in VS Code, though I haven't played with it (https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=xyz.local-history).

Ugh, but the memory usage though... I bounce back and forth between them. https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=k--kato.intellij-idea-keybindings was a must to make that possible.

I also love WebStorm. But as it is IDE it has everything you want for JavaScript development (especially Angular/Vue).

But i feel more conformable and fast development with VS Code. if i know i will be working on a project for whole day then i use WebStorm, otherwise Vs code is my intial choice

I completely agree. Intellij is so underrated when it comes to front-end web development.
