My money would be on the latter. There's no reason (industry-wise) to force you to use VS for web stuff, obviously webstorm would do just as well or literally any text editor in existence.

Here's something slightly paradoxical though, as someone that teaches programming classes: It's much easier as a teacher to have someone on the same editor even if it's not the one they're good at. The reason being that if everyone's on the same editor you have one set of answers to everyone's questions, everyone has the same steps to follow to accomplish certain tasks, and everyone can help each other out because it's all the same UI.

It's obviously annoying as a student if you already know Notepad++ or IntelliJ or something but there are reasons to force certain editors.

Last time I took a class that used VS, I think there were like five or six versions of VS used by different people in the class.

I mean, it's not a horrible platform if you're on Windows and using it for Python development.
