I tried WebStorm for a while but didn't get on with it. Too many confusingly implemented IDE features hampered by sprawling settings menus. One too many times I hit upon a frustrating editor feature that seemed like it should be simple to tweak, but wasn't able to get it right. IMO a case of trying to cover too many frontend dev task use cases with not enough attention to UI/UX etc. This was a few versions ago though so maybe it got better and of course YMMV. I think I prefer a simpler and more transparently configurable IDE these days with any fancy stuff happening explicitly in a declarative build/watch script.
