WebStorm offers best-in-class JavaScript/HTML editor, which deeply understands your code and is able to suggest javascript-specific code optimizations, quick-fixes and refactorings. It also provides Zen-coding support and DOM-based autocompletion for HTML/CSS.

In this release we focused on adding support for the latest JavaScript specification - ECMAScript 5, HTML 5, LESS and SASS extensions for CSS," said Maxim Mossienko, project lead at JetBrains. "We also continue to improve the environment itself, redesigning the UI and making it easier to work with issue trackers and version control systems right from the IDE."

The key changes in WebStorm 2.0 include: 

    
    - Support for ECMAScript 5: "use strict"
    - JavaScript libraries organizer to provide sophisticated JS
      code-completion - Leaner CSS (LESS) and SASS/SCSS extensions for CSS
