What features do you think we're missing from WebStorm?

I've used WebStorm quite a bit in an old job where it's use was mandated by management.

What I found was that lots the headline features didn't work for the hairy old JavaScript codebase and certainly didn't work as well as Tern + ctags.

E.g. navigating to method definitions fell back to a simple search when dealing with react.js modules. As did refactorings such as rename (provided by Tern).

Gulp/webpack/grunt do a better job at workflow tasks IMHO too.

I guess there was the debugger but it's not a patch on Chrome's debugger so why use it?
