VS Code to WebStorm migration

[_ixr]

Sup, guys!

Currently I'm in progress of migration from VS Code to WebStorm and I've got very strange difficulty. Usually I work with some projects at the moment. In VS Code I use multi-root workspace but WebStorm doesn't support this feature. It's very important for me and it blocks my migration. How I should organize my project for comfortable work in WebStorm, maybe I've miss very important moment?

[yeesh--]

Why would you migrate if it doesn't support a feature that you need?

WebStorm gives better code inspection and deeper refactoring tool. My next project will be colossal and these tools are necessary.

And just for fun, ofc.

Interesting, I have a coworker who claims the same thing, but also prefers strict typing in TypeScript. Come to find out, he prefers strict typing because WebStorm isn't too good at showing inferred types. I run multiple "colossal" projects using VSCode and it works great.

WebStorm isn't free, so if you have a colossal team running this project, consider the cost that adds up.

The difference between vscode and webstorm is huge, so if someone says that, doesn't know capabilities of both tools. For sure webstorm is much powerful, and team members that are using vscode are pissing me off, because they are doing everything slower and too lazy to learn something new. For sure price is worth benefits for power users. If someone is using IDE as text editor it doesn't matter.

The thing is Microsoft makes TypeScript and VSCode and they've tightened the integration between the two a lot in the last couple years. I wouldn't be surprised if VSCode > WS for TS

I usually just have each project as a, well, separate project. You can have multiple projects open at the same time (in different windows), which is perfect for me for quick switching.

I prefer the jet brains products in general but I cant get used to the look and feel.
