Webstorm is great. I used to use it. But VS Code is my go-to the past few years. Love it and it gets better every day (literally with the insiders build). But choose what you like - it's a personal choice we all make
I've tried Hyperdock, Magnet, Spectacle, Divvy, and a few others. They are all okay. I liked how Divvy let me customize several areas with keystrokes. Others do too, but this is where I ended up.

I am using IntelliJ IDEA now for over a decade for all of my Java-Projects and while starting with Angular/IONIC, I felt in love with VS Code.
I tried a couple of times some projects in IDEA (which is the ulitmate Edition and contains the features of all other JetBrain IDEs). I love IDEA for it's productivity, but for me, VS Code beats it when it comes to the JavaScript/Node/NPM eco system.
(Running Magnet, but don't use it that often)
My prefered Rest Client is PAW, btw. I use it for almost every web project when I design the service and API layer and then add the web views.

Nice post John. Thanks!
What do you think about using Webstorm instead of VS Code? Why i would choose VS Code over Webstorm? (forget the price)
Note: I prefer Magnet (only $ 2,99) instead of Divvy.

This is sad news!
I discovered that the other week, found the spiritual successor is rectangle app - uses same shortcuts as spectacle (and is also free.)
Rectangle is the new Spectacle

This one
Totally agree
Same. Maybe there are better ones, but I am so used to it now and it does pretty much all I need for window management.
There are many good window tool options.
Personally I use Hammerspoon. It's a great scripting/automating tool. I has many more uses than window management but that's my prime usage
We used both - and Divvy had many more benefits.
Webstorm is still a lot better than VS Code. What I like more about Code is a lot more different extensions, though.
It's a personal choice. How we define "better" defines what is important to us.
I think Webstorm is great. But I choose Code every morning.
We each use the tools we enjoy. I'm glad you enjoy Webstorm
This has got to be the most adult & mature way to handle differing opinions & preferences.
Takes notes
I second the vote on magnet. Amazing tool and a fait price.
Thanks.

I am really missing all this "extrract method/constant/variable" on VSCode, which is amazing for refactoring on all JetBrain IDE's.
Absolutely, the refactoring tools are outstanding!
Love magnet
