Though the UI isn't as nice, the simplistic feel makes for an easy system to do anything. Sublime can handle huge multi-GB sized files quicker than any GUI app I've seen and has the same (if not more) customizations/plugins.

I highly recommend Sublime Text as a replacement text editor to use along side with WebStorm. You said VSCode was slow with large files. For anything smaller/quicker I'll use Sublime Text. And I think it lets you import some of your settings from text editors, so no worries there.įor 'real work' on a project, I always go for JetBrains. It's an IDE whereas VSCode is just a text editor. Idt I've installed any plugins other than theme/syntax color changes. To get started, install the latest version.

VSCode is slow and annoying (though it's UI is pretty), and had very few features so you're stuck having to research which plugins do what task the best and then install tens of them to be able to do anything. This tutorial demonstrates how to use IntelliJ IDEA for creating a frontend application with Kotlin/JS for React. It's fantastic I can't imagine anything else as a daily driver for any front-end development.
