Where each one falls short
Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.
WebStorm
- JetBrains WebStorm is sold as an annual subscription rather than a one-time purchase: commercial price is $199 per year (USD), and personal price starts at $299 in year one, dropping to $239 in year two and $179 from year three onward with continuous renewal.
- If the subscription lapses, use of new versions stops; JetBrains grants a fallback license only for the last version used while the subscription was active, per its published buy page.
etcd
- Licensed under Apache License 2.0 per the project's GitHub repository (etcd-io/etcd LICENSE); as open source software it has no paid tier or vendor price to compare
- Benchmarked at only thousands of writes per second per instance per etcd.io, a throughput ceiling that requires clustering or an alternative store for higher write volumes
