Exactly, not here to convince anyone, I would urge people to use whatever works best for them.

VSC did just that for me, for a very long time.
It's mainly my need for testing and debugging these days that made me favor WebStorm else I probably wouldn't have switched.

What was your main point to switch?

Not sure what the difficulty is in testing in vs vode. Jasmine, karma, Cypress, protractor work just fine. It lays out inline code hints with which you can kick off any or all or a set of tests in run or debug mode.

No difficulty, but WS has a cool way of doing individual tests inside a file, don't think i've seen that in VSC (or i'm not aware of it)

  • it has a great way of visualising snapshots and debugging tests.

Again, not here to say VSC is bad at it, for my use-cases (singular test in a case) it works better in WS.
