    It's fast, written in Rust, no registration, easy setting and keybindings files to customize, better built in terminal.

    WebStorm at the time of writing has slightly better integration with JS build tools and TypeScript. If you're doing primarily frontend work, WebStorm is probably still the best choice. However, VsCode is a bit more flexible if you move out of that area.
