I had never heard of WebStorm. Apparently, it's "The smartest JavaScript IDE".

I started my career writing Perl CGI's, and have used, at various times, PHP, Python, Tcl, Ruby, Erlang, Java, Javascript and of course a lot of other stuff. Emacs has always done a good job, even if perhaps there was some editor/IDE that was a bit better for that specific langauge.

Lives up to that, IMO. I switched to WebStorm a couple months ago after using a combination of vim/Sublime and would never go back.

I do have the same issues the author has re: the Vim plugin though, could be much better.
