I'm not using vs code, but my team does... with Python. Webstorm calls itself a JavaScript IDE.
That alone is sufficient for an instant "no".
That's understandable.. Text Editors are a great choice for any language, IDEs are only good for specific language.. If your team needs an IDE, here's a list: https://www.simplilearn.com/tutorials/python-tutorial/python-ide
And VSCode is one on the list, it's considered an IDE with the right plugins.. But for me, I use Javascript on the frontend and got curious about Webstorm.. But I will still continue using VSCode/VSCodium for other languages..
I've made the move a few years ago. I really like the "IDE" experience instead of the "code editor" one.
"Oh, but it takes so much RAM", yup... So does all those electron apps I have to use alongside VSCode, that are built in webstorm...
End up trying the Trial.. I'm starting to see the difference.. Is there a way to get a discount??
They have some discount for open source, students and other things. You can send them an email and explain your situation, you'll never know...
Here's a tip for you: their beta version (EAP) is always free, but not available all the time, if you're fine with some plugins not working
Looks like it's too late.. But I don't think it's a good idea either.. Beta version sometimes crashes, imagine that in the middle of your work, the IDE suddenly crashes, or worse, it didn't save your work.. I did consider downloading the crack version from torrent sites, but it didn't have the latest version.. I wanted the latest features and support for Vue and Typescript..
I'm no longer a student, and I have no open-source project of my own.. So, I don't think I can convince them to give discounts.. It looks like I have no choice but to buy at full price..
You get a loyalty discount in the second and third year, so do you only pay the full price once.
They have free licenses for students, but otherwise I don't think so
Shame.. Maybe I should re-enroll myself at a University?? I'm kidding.. Looks like I have no choice but to purchase their monthly sub, but I'm still comparing my experience with it with what I'm used to with VSCodium.. but so far, I'm in its favor..
Excuse me, do you have a moment to talk about our lord and saviour Vim?
vim :)
