Sure but WebStorm is targeted solely/mainly at JavaScript development.
What if my employer has N repos and several other languages, and JavaScript is just one of those.
VSCode allows me to stay with the same interface across multiple different repos.
Yes, if I’m doing Ruby or Java or C# I might choose a _different_ IDE for certain tasks in that language. But with a few plugins you can get a reasonably good generalist tool in VSCode, and even a pretty full featured one for certain languages
