People keep saying that WS is not slow or CPU intensive all the time but this is only true because we take our computing power for granted. The browser was just too slow because of the CPU usage. Let me example it this way, I couldnt google the error I was getting.
#WEBSTORM LINUX CODE#
Running VS Code I never got into any issues with performance but yesterday after I learnt that WebStorm has a prettier plugin I decided to give it a shot and jesuuus it really gave hard time on my CPU.
#WEBSTORM LINUX PORTABLE#
Therefore I need my device to be small, portable and light aand therefore thats why my computing power is not that great. I do work while I am on the ferry, metro, plane, bus etc. I need to be this way because of the fact that I love working while on the go. Gaming on my Windows PC, dev in my Linux laptop. People mostly code on the same device they use for gaming and therefore their devices are actually fast and powerful but I keep everything separate.
Now most people do their development in more powerful hardware. It's like a paper, cant even feel it lol. I love working on the go thats why I always carry my extremely lightweight Ubuntu laptop with me all the time.
I do my development in a very small and lightweight computer running Ubuntu. Now that what I am trying to explain to people. I'll switch to intellij if I am working on a new feature that needs extensive coverage, or if I am working on a large refactor. TLDR: I love vscode for remote development, quick prototyping, and light development. Doesn't have consistent features between languages. Generally easier to use and configure.Ĭons: Plugins can be buggy, or missing desired features. Much better for light development, or running code snippets. Pros: Very lightweight Great for remote development with the new remote extensions. Initial setup of projects can be confusing. Code coverage and testing tools are far superior.Ĭons: Uses WAAY too much CPU/RAM. Most everything comes without adding plugins. Pros: refactoring tools are much more powerful. My review is not based on a pure JS stack.
#WEBSTORM LINUX FULL#
I do a lot of full stack development, and use quite a few languages on a regular basis. I don't use webstorm, but intellij, which has all of the same features. It is maintained by the community as much as Microsoft itself.
Can you chaps give us any feedback? Is it still slow? How you can compare the two with feature wise but please dont forget to count community plugins as features as well because that's the whole point of VS Code. You can basically add & remove what you want and don't want.Īs a person from the VS Code side of the fence I really wonder how it is to be in the WebStorm side of the fence.
I always loved modular applications for this reason. So you wont have tons of plugins slowing you down if you want them. It starts as an editor but you can turn that cat into a lion if you want to and the wonderful thing is, IT'S OPTIONAL. It's fast, light-weight, modular, open source. Now I recently started using VS Code and loved it too. Atom is an editor WebStorm is a giant IDE. It was blazing fast and soooo light-weight(probably due to it being an editor rather an IDE.) Now I am aware we cant compare the two. Now I used WebStorm free trial 2 or 3(cant really remember) years ago and loved it's features but hated it's slowness. I know that almost eveery java script developer migrated to VSCode especially if they are full-stack.
