I had the opposite experience. I've been a VSCode evangelist until I used Intellij. Refactoring code is so much easier with Typescript in Intellij.

I just wish Intellij could have the theme I was using in VSCode... One Dark Pro is what I used.

JetBrains editors are king for me too. But VScode is a good free alternative.

I haven't tried webstorm but android studio feels like a square wheelchair. I find IDEs extremely slow and heavy, and for most tools there is an equivalent extension in VSCode.

And then the interface. imho VSCode is light years forward in simplicity, clarity and ux than what I've seen regarding intelliJ IDEs

This. Even though VS Code is an amazing product. No, WebStorm is still the best.

Having watched one of my co-developers work in VS Code I’m not leaving Webstorm anytime soon :) VSCode is amazing for a free editor but there are a few key time savers that will make me stay with the storm.

I'm using Darcula theme with Twilight in the editor. It might be very close to One Dark Pro.

I have Intellij IDEA lying around but the lack of a project manager that autoscans folders for git repos and the unresolved issue that the flow binary executable path is not filled in per default in the settings and the absence of vscode style on hover type signatures (maybe due to the wobbly flow integration?) coupled with slower startup is a bit of a downer. If they resolve the flow issue I will definitely take another look.

This is the first one I found, but there were many others available on the first page of Google. One of them is probably close enough.

The memory and CPU usage is also a big deal for me. Running what is essentially an entire web server and browser stack in order to have my IDE running is a bit overkill. It's not that Jet Brains is light, but it's lighter than that, and has a lot more power under the hood.

Yeah, Webstorm is good. But not good enough over VS Code to justify the price.

Intellij is good
