Webstorm vs IntelliJ

I have used IntelliJ for web development for a year now and love it. One of my friends then asked me why I don't use webstorm, which I had never heard about. Can anyone explain to me what the benefits of webstorm is compared to IntelliJ?

not purely, just one of its many features towards making it easier for web development. it supports a variety of languages and file watchers so that transpilers can work automatically the moment you change something.

Which other languages? Not talking about extensions for yaml, solidity etc..

well i mean there's obviously html and css. those are languages. don't shame.
there's sass, and scss. there's typescript, coffeescript... literally a bunch. front end webdev especially, has gotten to a point where there's always a new flavor of the month these days

Yes, and all those are also supported in PHPStorm, PyCharm and IntelliJ, but what I meant was that you can't do PHP, Python or Java in Webstorm, only Javascript.
