What’s New in WebStorm 2021.1
Smarter completion for JavaScript
ML-assisted completion for JavaScript and TypeScript is now enabled by default. Additionally, suggestions for symbol names have become a bit smarter.
Improvements for HTML and CSS
A built-in HTML preview, better support for Stylelint, and details about selector specificity in CSS will help you work more productively.
Usability enhancements
This version is packed with new settings for choosing editor font weight, the ability to maximize tabs in the split view, and fixes for a lot of known issues.
Why WebStorm

Webstorm Vs Atom
Get up and running quickly
Start working on your projects immediately instead of wasting time juggling multiple plugins. With a variety of built-in developer tools and out-of-the-box language and framework support, there’s everything needed for productive JavaScript development.
Increase your productivity
Don’t spend your time going back and forth between the terminal and text editor or on things that can be automated with the help of refactorings and quick fixes; it’s what the IDE is best at. It puts the most critical developer tools like the debugger and Git at your fingertips.
Write better code with less effort
Write cleaner and more reliable code as the IDE runs dozens of inspections as you type and promptly detects potential errors and redundancies. Save time exploring the code base with autocompletion that suggests which variables and methods are most relevant in the current context.
Swiftly find what you need
Get around your code faster regardless of how large your projects are. Jump to the definition for any class, function, method, variable, or component and find its usages in just a few clicks. Easily navigate through the file you have opened with an at-a-glance view of its structure.
Tailor the look and feel to your liking
Don’t feel like using the defaults? Adjust the appearance and behavior of the IDE by playing around with themes, code styles, plugins, and more, so that it fits your unique needs better. You can also automatically share your custom settings between different instances of WebStorm.

What our customers say
Skip to end of metadataGo to start of metadataWhat is WebStorm & PhpStorm?
WebStorm & PhpStorm are IDEs (Integrated Development Environment) built on top of JetBrains IntelliJ platform and narrowed for web development.
Which IDE do I need?
Intellij Vs Webstorm
PhpStorm is designed to cover all needs of PHP developer including full JavaScript, CSS and HTML support.
WebStorm is for hardcore JavaScript developers. It includes features PHP developer normally doesn’t need like Node.JS or JSUnit. However corresponding plugins can be installed into PhpStorm for free.
How often new vesions are going to be released?
Preliminarily, WebStorm and PhpStorm major updates will be available twice in a year. Minor (bugfix) updates are issued periodically as required.
Will WebStorm support XXXXX Framework/Technology? (JavaScript/anything else)
Please NOTE When its stated that IDEA platform supports LANGUAGE (be it JS, PHP, Ruby, Java etc.) it means that IDE features will work with ANY valid code in that particular language and maybe even across them. However, SOME advanced features (i.e more smart completion) MAY require special handling of particular library/framework (i.e approach used to emulate object inheritance in JS). Libraries that are known to require such ADVANCED support of fine-grained features are mentioned in roadmap. All other stuff expected to work as is.
Thus - please TRY to actually develop your project in WebStorm and then provide us your feedback about your expectations, problems and feature requests.

IntelliJ IDEA vs WebStorm features
IntelliJ IDEA remains JetBrains' flagship product and IntelliJ IDEA provides full JavaScript support along with *all* other features of WebStorm via bundled or downloadable plugins. The only thing missing is the simplified project setup.
Can't find <some declared feature>
It may be NOT DONE YET. Please try searching our Tracker
Will it be possible to use 3rd party editor like, for example, jVi?
We can't imagine why do you DON'T want to use our excellent editor with code analysis and refactoring, especially because IDEA platform has excellent VI plugin. However, IDE can live with external code changes.

Advanced support for specific text-based files i.e. makefile, etc
