Webstorm is essentially the only IDE that makes any sense for doing JS/TS work. Visual Studio is an unbelievable dog when you throw more than trivial amounts of JS code at it, to a degree that I cannot really understand, especially the apparently enormous resources that have been thrown at the problem in recent years. I routinely see VS splutter and die on smallish front-end projects when it runs like butter on six-figure LOC .NET and C++ solutions with dozens and dozens of projects.

I run Webstorm in VM environments with 2-4GB RAM and 2-3 vCPUs and for the most part it's pretty smooth even with image editing programs and multiple browsers open.
