There is very solid TypeScript integration in Visual Studio Code. Both are developed by Microsoft and VSC itself is written in TypeScript.
Comment

Pro
 Extendable through plugins

Visual Studio Code comes fairly complete out of the box, but there are many plugins available to extend its functionality.
Comment

Pro
 Fast and powerful

VS-Code has the speed of Sublime and the power of WebStorm. Perhaps this is the best software that Microsoft has ever created.

 Integrated debugging

VSC includes debugging tools for Node.js, TypeScript, and JavaScript.
Comment

Pro
 Beautiful and customizable UI

Multiple themes including those used in Sublime Text and Visual Studio are available by default.

Comment

Pro
 Excellent integration with VisualStudio projects

You can easily switch from VisualStudio to VSCode to work on your web projects in a lighter environment if you, for example, just want to work on your interface design or anything that doesn't require a complex IDE, and VSCode won't do anything strange or affect your project's builds in any way.

Comment

Con
 Generalized

VS Code is a general code/scripting IDE built to be lightweight and for people familiar with their language of choice, not directly comparable to Visual Studio in power or scope.

Pro
 Support RTL Language

While most of IDEs don't support it.
Comment

Pro
 Extensions (aka plugins) are written in JavaScript

Extensions are written in either Typescript or JavaScript.
Comment

Con
 Embedded Git isn't powerful enough

You can do nothing but to track changes, stage them and commit. No history, visualization, rebasing or cherry-picking – these things are left to git console or external git client.
Comment

Pro
 Integrated task runners

Task runners display lists of available tasks and performing these tasks is as simple as a click of the mouse.
Comment

Con
 File search is extremely slow

It's absolutely not possible to use this tool with big projects given how long it takes to search for files.
Comment

Con
 Memory hog

Allegedly, VS Code is "lightweight". Yet, running multiple instances of it at once, you may get many "out of memory" messages from Windows despite 16 GB RAM. (While of course also running other things. The point is the comparison with some other IDEs/editors where running them alongside the same number of other applications doesn't cause Windows to run out of memory)
Comment

 Active development

It's really nice to see how the code editor evolves. Every month there is a new version with great communication of new features and changes.
Comment

Pro
 Good support for new Emmet syntax

Comment

Con
 Atom clone

It's nothing else than Atom with some plugins.
Comment

Pro
 Full IDE - Code Completion, Refactoring, Project Management, Task Running

It's a Full IDE as opposed to a code editor like Atom, VSC, Sublime Text. Jetbrains make full featured IDEs.
Comment

Pro
 Database editing

Can edit/manage databases in your IDE, or use Datagrip from Jetbrains to do this. This means your IDE can make contextual completions based on your schema from your database.
Comment

Pro
 Cross-platform

Can work on your application on the 3 major OSs - Linux, macOS, Windows. This is the upside of using Java.
Comment

Pro
 Intelligent code completion

PhpStorm has two types of autocompletion: structural completion and word expansion. Structural autocompletion makes predictions based on its understanding of PHP, while the latter tries to predict the word currently being typed based on previously typed words. Word expansion also works in comments and docstrings and it's similar to vim's omnicompletion. Both types of autocompletion work extremely well, have little to no problems and are quite fast even when loading suggestions on the go.
Comment

Pro
 Framework specific plugins

Has support for Drupal, Wordpress, Symfony on the PHP Side. React, Angular, Meteor, Mocha, Karma, ESLint and many more on the JS Side. Some of these require a (free) plugin. Also HTML & CSS full support.
Comment

Con
 Proprietary

It is not free software (free as in freedom).
Comment

Pro
 Outstanding JavaScript Development capabilities

Gives superior support when developing JavaScript, TypeScript, CoffeeScript code with code completion, linting, debugging, refactoring, etc.
Comment

Pro
 Integrated Git GUI support

Allows users to manage their repositories directly from the IDE with a GUI which lets you do all Git commands.
Comment

Pro
 Has built-in console and SSH clients

This allows the developer to execute commands without switching to other windows. It also keeps track of what is happening right in the IDE, which is especially good with Vagrant, because you can connect to a VM in a single click.
Comment

Pro
 Lots of plugins

Lots of plugins from JetBrains and the community are available, from useful things like support for Docker, Vagrant, Angular, Vue.js and more useless (but fun) like a nyan cat progress bar.
Comment

Con
 Uses a lot of memory

Can use a lot of memory and need to be restarted. This has been improving, but it still apparent.
Comment

Pro
 Great debugging capabilities

Using a 3rd party debugger installed on the system.
Comment

Con
 Cost - commercial software

If you subscribe you can get the full license even after canceling, but it's still commercial software and this is it's main disadvantage. WebStorm can be used if you don't need Database or PHP Support, which is another Jetbrains Product.
Comment

Pro
 Templating support

Supports Twig and Laravel's Blade (among others). Technically the later is part of a framework which Phpstorm supports but I've seen IDEs (e.g. Netbeans) with Laravel support but no blade support so it does deserve a notable mention.
Comment

Pro
 Auto-sync with remote folders

PHPStorm can monitor files and sync any changes to a remote server. This works more efficiently than libnotify and faster than Vagrant's rsync-auto.
Comment

Pro
 Code Refactoring

Quickly rename classes, methods, and variables used across multiple files in the project.
Comment

Pro
 Database view

The database tab, while not perfect, provides all the tools you need for daily usage. You always have your DB overview on the side, which can be hidden when not needed.
Comment

Pro
 Supports various PHP frameworks

Supports Symfony2, Yii frameworks and Laravel.
Comment

Pro
 Can upgrade to IntelliJ for full language stack

If you are a Polygot or if you mainly write code in Ruby, Python, Go, (or some other) plugins, you can get one piece of software and can do Backend/Frontend in the same IDE while being full featured and all pretty similar. Jetbrains IDEs work all based on a plugin model, although there are exceptions (You can't just get WebStorm and install Ruby/Python, but can install everything on IntelliJ).
Comment

Pro
 Preview websites

You can preview websites with multiple browsers and (with the new update) also within the IDE.
Comment

Pro
 External command support

Ability to setup custom external commands, which is something inherited from eclipse and found lacking on netbeans.
Comment

Pro
 Responsive core developers

Comment

Pro
 Inspections of all kinds

Not just for PHP, HTML and JavaScript, but especially good is SQL inspection and auto-completion of tables and fields. You can see at a glance, that your DB structure is in sync with your code.
Comment

Pro
 Excellent search tools

Especially the "find in path" feature that displays both results and file preview!
Comment

Comment

Con
 Written in Java

Java applications often have certain UI elements that are unpleasant. Although a lot of the UI is fleshed out, this still applies. For example, opening a file uses a different dialog than your native OS which means keyboard shortcuts may not work.

Con
 Not free for commercial use

A paid license is required to use WebStorm for commercial use. The license terms changed in November 2015 and currently require a subscription (per year: $59 personal, $129 for companies). Students can obtain a free non-commercial, educational license good for one year. There is also an option to pay on a monthly basis in addition to perks, such as a fallback commercial license that can be used for free.

 Free for open-source development, students, and teacher

Non-commercial open source projects, and students and teachers (including classroom licenses) may qualify for a free license. There is a 50% off license for startups (under 3 years old). You can read more about it here.
Comment

Pro
 Built-in terminal/run tools

WebStorm (and really all of the IntelliJ IDEs) support the plugins throughout their plugin ecosystem which leaves you with 100s of tools to handle your automation tasks. There is a wide range of build-related plugins that help you by having pre-defined commands to execute with the click of a button. Out of any other IDE, WebStorm has by far the most coverage when it comes to tools for your development workflow.

 Theme support / tweaking

The theme is very easy to customize to your liking. You can change font-size, colors, highlighting colors, and more.
Comment

Con
 Not open source

This application is proprietary, and thus cannot be modified, freely distributed, or trusted for security.
Comment

Con
 Occasional slow performance

WebStorm can sometimes choke all cores of the CPU. There are numerous reports of high CPU usage.
Comment

Con
 High memory usage

Some of the memory is used for indexing files, which really fasten up things. Despite that, uses too much memory, excessive features cannot be disabled and set too low memory for JVM make it unusable.
Comment

Con
 Poor usability on option and menu navigation

You need to press a combination of keys or navigate through different menu levels to carry out the two most common things a developer does. For example, to run your code, the default is Shift+F10. To go to definition, you need to click on "Navigation" first. There is no sense to this: being forced to press a combination of keys hundreds of times or navigating through different menus can be a waste of time.
Comment

Pro
 Interactive theme (color scheme) editor

Makes adjusting an existing or creating new themes a breeze. Especially due to things like inheritance, as well as easily exporting/distributing/importing the color settings which really only store where on deviates from the defaults (thus the resulting files are very small and relatively human-readable).

 Can't open multiple projects in a single instance

The only way to open multiple projects is to run a new instance of WebStorm which is not ideal. WebStorm can use up to 1-1.5 GB of memory.
Comment

Con
 Non-native filesystem causes issues

The Java wrapper around the filesystem doesn't actively watch for file changes (by, for example, using the fsevents api on OS X), and as a result can become easily desynchronised from the actual filesystem. If you have an external tool acting on your project (such as a gulp task or a third-party Git client), what you see in the file browser or in open tabs becomes out-of-date. There's a feature in the context-menu for manually synchronising directories with their real filesystem equivalent, but this shouldn't be necessary and is annoying to do. You usually remember to do that anyway after you've been trying to track down a bug on a line of JavaScript that Webstorm says doesn't exist for the last two hours. It should be noted though that this is easily remedied by going to File/Settings/System Settings and checking the "Synchronize Files on frame or editor tab activation" option. It's also recommended to more explicitly represent your workflow within WebStorm itself. Most external tools/tasks can be handled with WebStorm. And if it's not in a plug-in, then you can handle it with the File Watchers.
Comment

Con
 You may have to fiddle with the JVM memory settings in configuration files

To get it to run properly, you have to edit the JVM memory settings when you use Node.js. Node.js makes the small JS project you have into a "large" project that requires more memory.

 Plug-in Ecosystem isn't robust

Every framework or extension with any popularity whatsoever will have a plugin for VS Code. Sometimes they'll still support Atom. Only one in twenty will have native support for WebStorm. If you want support for the latest libraries, you won't get it in WebStorm.
Comment

Pro
 Excellent performance

As it loads the whole file into RAM, replacing all string occurrences in 100 MB+ files is quick and easy. Every other editor has sort of died during that. It is extremely fast even for cold start. Vim is light-weight and very compact. In terminal, it only uses a small amount of memory and anytime you invoke Vim, it's extremely fast. It's immediate, so much so you can't even notice any time lag.
Comment

Pro
 Lightweight and fast

When compared to modern graphical editors like Atom and Brackets (which have underlying HTML5 engines, browsers, Node, etc.), Vim uses a sliver of the system's memory and it loads instantly, all the while delivering the same features. Vim is also faster than Emacs.
Comment

Pro
 Extremly configurable

Comment

Pro
 Keyboard-based, mouse-free interface, and trackpad support

There's no need to reach for the mouse or the Ctrl/Alt buttons again. Everything is a mere key press or two away with almost 200 functions specifically for text editing. Vim does support the mouse, but it's designed so you don't have to use it for greater efficiency. Versions of Vim, like gVim or MacVim, still allow you to use the mouse and familiar platform shortcuts. That can help ease the learning curve and you'll probably find you won't want to (or need to) use the mouse after a while.

Vi/vim exists on almost all Unix-like platforms. It's the de-facto Unix editor and is easily installed on Windows. All you need to make it work is a text-based connection, so it works well for remote machines with slow connections, or when you're too lazy to set up a VNC/Remote Desktop connection.

Vim's keyset is mainly restricted to the alphanumeric keys and the escape key. This is an enduring relic of its teletype heritage, but has the effect of making most of Vim's functionality accessible without frequent awkward finger reaches.

 Productivity enhancing modal paradigm

As with all vi-like editors, Vim provides a modal paradigm for text editing and processing that provides a rich syntax and semantic model for composing succinct, powerful commands. While this requires some initial investment in learning how it works in order to take full advantage of its capabilities, it rewards the user well in the long run. This modal interface paradigm also lends itself surprisingly well to many other types of applications that can be controlled by vi-like keybindings, such as browsers, image viewers, media players, network clients (for email and other communication media), and window managers. Even shells (including zsh, tcsh, mksh, and bash, among others) come with vi-like keybinding features that can greatly enhance user comfort and efficiency when the user is familiar with the vi modal editing paradigm.

 Everything is mnemonic

No need to memorize different key combinations for things like deleting the text inside of a block or deleting the text inside of a pair of quotes. It's just a series of actions, or nouns and verbs, or however you prefer to think about it. If you want to delete, you select "d"; if you want it to happen inside something, you select "i"; and if you want the surrounding double-quotes, just select ". But if you were changing the text, or copying it, or anything else, you'd still use the same "i" and ". This makes it very easy to remember a large number of different extremely useful commands, without the effort it takes to remember all of the Emacs "magic incantations", for example.

 Difficult learning curve

You'll spend a lot of time learning all the commands and modes supported in Vim. You'll then spend more time tuning settings to your needs. Although once it's tuned to your needs, you can take your .vimrc to any machine you need and have the same experience across all your computers.

 Consume brain energy for editing that should be used for logic

Text editing in vim is awesome, but it requires thinking about combination of commands. In other editors, you don't have to think about how to delete this part of code. You just think about how to implement a feature, what is a good design for this code. Even after you get used to using vim, it still requires your brain for editing.

Con
 Poor feature discoverability

Though basic features like syntax checking, autocompletion, and file management are all available out of the box or with minimal configuration, this is not obvious to new users, who might get intimidated or assume they need to install complex plugins just so they can have this functionality. Other features new users might expect to find embedded in Vim, such as debugging, instead follow a UNIX-style model where they are called as external programs, the output of which might then be parsed by Vim so it can display results. Users not familiar with this paradigm will likely fault Vim for lacking those features as well.

 Fast compiler

Eclipse uses a custom compiler (which can also be used outside of Eclipse), which is often faster than the normal Java Compiler, especially for incremental compilation.

 Tends to be slow and lags a lot

 UI can be confusing

There's an overly abundant presence of menus, this forces you to constantly click around the different menu structures; foreign ideas, like Views and Perspectives; strange menu choices, like configure settings located in Windows menu->Preferences.

 Plugins can be unstable

Though there are plenty of plugins to choose from, they aren't always reliable. Some aren't maintained, bug fixes can be slow, and you may need to download plugins from multiple sources.

 Special support for JQuery through the jQuery plugin

The jQuery support (when you install the jQuery plugin) is great. It adds function definitions so that autocomplete works as intended. Furthermore, the IDE knows about the logic of the different libraries and frameworks and can understand that $(this) refers to a jQuery instance.

 Hovering over a CSS property shows you which browsers are supported by that property

This is a really nice feature as it immediately shows you the browsers that support a certain CSS property. Of course, it does not beat actual testing, but it's still a nice feature that saves developers a lot of time.
