Currently I use WebStorm, but I also always have a spacemacs window open, to do the things that WebStorm can't do.

Fresh example from yesterday: I open a .graphqlconfig file in WebStorm, which is a JSON file. Good luck making WebStrom open it as a JSON file... One minute later, I've opened the file in emacs, M-x json-mode, M-x mark-whole-buffer, M-x json-reformat-region, did the changes I needed to do, carried on with my life.

So it's not that WebStorm (or any other fluffy high-level tool) is perfect or "enough". There is always this one thing that will make your life miserable if you are religious with these things.




You can assign non standart file types to various languages.
