    • Sublime
    • VSCode
    • Webstorm

Is it good enough to replace webstorm. I know that it is not free and it is an IDE but just want to know some insights.
That fonts looks nice. Thanks.

For me, VsCode is the best. I have tried webstrom, but it's a bit heavy than VsCode. Plus there's lot of extensions in VsCode that can ramp up the project. :)

I use PhpStorm for like 6 or 7 years now. Tried Atom and VS Code when they bacame "cool", but always switched back to PhpStorm.
Changed the mono fonts a lot of times, but been using Fira Code for more like a year now.

Yes. PhpStorm has the same features as WebStorm, or features like Typescript support can be added via plugins. No issues so far.

Fira code is something I use but jetbrains looks good too. Have you thought of trying it?

Looks like I am settling down to VSCode too.
Theme: night owl
Font: JetBrains Mono...though planning to try recursive.design

Thanks for suggestions guys.

Dropping the idea of extending my webstorm license which is going to expire soon.

Yes, I would agree. Visual Studio Code is a great choice if you are primarily doing Javascript work. When I work on PHP, many times, I will use PHPStorm. Otherwise, I also stick to VSCode.
