They mention they're not trying to be the biggest code editor, and I think they have a fighting chance against Webstorm.

Also they can create a plugin system similar to Sketchapp that exposes a JavaScript API.

How can you have a chance against WebStorm by not being the biggest editor?

WebStorm is IntelliJ Idea. It’s a full IDE with capabilities beyond that of a simple code editor: code analysis (for multiple languages), smart refactoring (for multiple languages), extensive plugin support, an extensive range of support for anything from eslint configs to understanding things like “oh, it’s an Angular app, let me help you connect all the pieces together”, etc. etc.
