Nice to meet you! I am the first person you've met who has tried WebStorm but then switched back to VSCode!

I bought it and gave it a whirl, but I went back.

Mainly because VS Code is much faster, and has a more normal UI (native open/save dialogs, way way better file browser, etc).

Also because the development velocity seems much faster. Every single VS Code major update has goodies in it that I personally want (plus blah blah whatever that I don't) and they come out once a month almost!

But I am curious (especially since I do still have the WebStorm license) what are some of the "IDE goodies" that give WebStorm the advantage in your view?
