I found WebStorm a bit overwhelming when I first tried it (I was fairly new at the time), which made any workflow a little difficult for me out of the gate.

That, and I remember Staples of the JS ecosystem (eg ESLint) being somewhat difficult to set up. Maybe they were simple if one knew the Jetbrain workflows, but for me, esp. compared to VS Code, it seemed a huge undertaking just to get ESLint to work.

Actually, here's an SO question I posted awhile back about ESLint in WebStorm (well, intelliJ). This was shortly before I made the switch to Code.
