But if you are, for example, using a TypeScript project (like Angular) VS Code does not detect unused public methods. This can have a huge impact on the code quality of a large Angular code base which was mainly developed using VS Code. To see the difference open your project which was developed in VS Code with WebStorm and run the code inspection. This was basically what convinced me that using WebStorm results in a cleaner code base.

WebStorm has an integrated test runner which I really like. This way you can run your tests directly from the IDE and even debug them there. Running my jasmine & Karma tests in WebStorm I can easily jump to the failed test code and rerun only this specific test. The following image shows such a test run: My Angular unit test workflow in VS Code is normally to mark a describe or it test block with a f (e.g. fdescribe) which tells Karma to only run this certain test block. Alternatively, I use the karma-jasmine-html-reporter where you can also define to run only certain tests by clicking on them in the HTML page.
