03/12/2019, 6:40 PMYou can't really do it in 1 sentence i dont think.. Eclipse is old, built for mainly java dev and slow as hell. Webstorm, from the ground up, was built with web development in mind so thinks like nodeJS are built into it natively. Out of the box, its setup way better than Eclipse.

03/14/2019, 2:53 PMGuys - educate me a little bit more please! I have tried using Webstorm over last 2-3 weeks and have found it worse than Eclipse. My main issue is with how it uploads script files to Netsuite. Much slower compared to Eclipse and though I have heard that the new version of Webstorm might fix it, currently it seems to show "uploaded fine" when it actually doesn't...

03/15/2019, 2:13 AMI have mainly developed custom functionality which includes client scripts, suitelets, Restlets and custom records+forms. When I do, I am uploading and running the scripts in NS to troubleshoot. Is that tremendously different from how you guys use it?

03/15/2019, 2:19 AMIf by SDF, you mean that using XML object definitions etc and the full SDF structure, then I don't use that. I have so far relied only on defining objects directly in NS. Does working with the XML definitions make things easier such as the IDE auto-completing field names etc?

03/15/2019, 2:28 PMno, but NFT auto completes field names 🙂 Working with the XML allows you to version control your customizations, such as custom records and custom fields
