IntelliJ Ultimate user here, writing and refactoring TS works quite well. There are some minor issues (e.g. sometimes it doesn't show the usual "this method is overridden in a child class" indicator), and refactoring likes to randomly modify somearray['foo'] when renaming a someclass.foo property, but I can live with that.

How is Flow looking in webstorm? As good as their typescript support?

I haven't tried Flow, so I can't say.

I've used both extensively in IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate. It's slightly harder to setup than TS, and it feels less mature - but it's very hard to explain why with concrete examples.

I did have to turn off code completion based on flow, because it slowed down the IDE noticeable (they do warn of this next to the setting...), but I hope that support will improve in the next versions, as flow gets more mature.
