we get find-in files, which can be used to find any code in your files!

Is there something special about this that I'm missing? I haven't use VSCode much, but I'd assume it'd have something that does this, it's pretty basic functionality available in most editors or IDEs, isn't it?

The search flow is very smooth, switching between file-level, folder-level and project-level search is superfast, and the feature of “search anything” is just superb. The pleasure comes with practice 😄 but it’s really hard to use anything other than WebStorm after using WebStorm.

What would be the difference between "search anything" and "project-level"? Or do you mean that the search includes results from the editor, like the command pallette or something?

Yes, closer to the VS Code’s command palette but less chaotic I’d say

Ah nothing new, it just works really well in WS
As where VSC has the same, but it's in one uniform search.

This really comes down to preference I think.
