Agree with the article. I love Vim, but mostly use webstorm for the same reasons.

I just find all jetbrains products run like molasses, even with a 12-core machine with 32GB ram. I work fairly quick, and get frustrated when my editor holds me up.

Surprised to hear about the crashing issues with typescript, but I don't have any experience there.

JetBrains products seem hit or miss for me.

AppCode is way snappier for me than Kotlin-in-IDEA. AppCode is also more likely to shit the bed and not be able to find a standard library class with ctrl-click.

PHPStorm has never given me trouble.

which part runs like mosasses: the indexing? typing visual latency? bootup time? etc?

All of the above.
