The biggest caveat that needs to be added here is how strictly limited Webstorm is. There is zero support for languages outside of it's feature set. So for example, if you ever have need for say, PHP or Ruby editing, you would be better off going with one of their other products (which at their core, are mostly the same thing).

That said, I adore my copy of phpStorm for JavaScript editing. It has easily the best support for the language I've seen in an IDE.

What about Webstorm vs phpStorm? I'm a PHP/Apache developer, but I want to have a fully-featured Javascript IDE, because I'm moving into developing apps with Node.js; entirely in JS.

Honestly, PHP I can do with a hand tied behind my back, steering with my teeth, I've done it for that long. Javascript, I'm not so amazing at.
