Which is better for front end programming? JetBrains WebStorm or sublime?

Jetbrains support a fallback license. Basically if you license a product for at least 1 year, after that you can use the version of the software when you started the subscription for free. Example is that you pay 60$/year for Webstorm version 1, in the end of the year you've got updates to v2, you can continue to pay for v2, or fallback to v1 for free. (the version used here are just hypothetical). Also Jetbrains beats VS in term of refactoring support, great product, awesome support.

Pycharm has a community and so does IntelliJ for Java, if you really don't want to pay for WebStorm IntelliJ has support for web development also (obviously not as good as webstorm) another thing is what I really love about JetBrains is their intellisense and autocomplete, the keyboard scheme feels right and so does their intellisense. I used to use Eclipse for Java and C/C++ then I found IntelliJ 7 (has it ever come a long way) and then they introduced CLion which is amazing. Jetbrains really know how to make a good IDE because unlike visual studio they have an IDE meant for each language/category. It does one thing... and does it very well.

To be honest, the time JetBrains products will save you make up threefold for the money you pay for the commercial license.. To the extent I was able to experiment and test, depending on the type of project, I save anywhere from 36-48% time for coding (project research included, of course -- that's mostly where the time is saved, haha)

I wasted a month for nothing with BlueJ to learn Java! Then I meet IntelliJIDEA, for me it's the best Java IDE. Same goes to PyCharm for python. I do not doubt that WebStorm as good as IntelliJIDEA, but if it has a free community edition like IntelliJIDEA & PyCharm it will encourage starter & other to buy it more in the future. jetbrains make great IDEs I think.

I've been using WebStorm for about a year now and I really like it. A big reason I like it is because I use Resharper with the IntelliJ keyboard shortcuts, so when using WebStorm I feel right at home.

You have the same git features in VS code! I have to admit there are things that WebStrom does better like but the "git" features aren't that unique in WebStorm. You should probably update your VS Code
