The Welkin Suite
Likelihood to Recommend
It is well suited to development-oriented projects. I find it faster to use the native Salesforce UI for more configuration projects. There are a number of tools in the suite that I have not used and probably could get more value out of it, but it has served well as my primary IDE for the last few months.

Pros
  • Local History - Without having to setup GitHub this has been a time saver!
  • AutoComplete
  • Saves the entire project at once

Cons
  • It would be nice if IDE feature releases were timed to coincide with Salesforce releases (i.e. make Lightning Web Components available on the day they become available in Salesforce instances).
  • The IDE can be a bit buggy especially when you have several windows of the IDE open to different Salesforce instances at the same time on one machine.
  • Sometimes, when you click to retrieve your data too soon, before the program has a chance to ask you to connect to the instance, it can cause the IDE to freeze.

Support Rating
In general, when you need support there is someone there to give you an answer. I think there could be an improvement in this area, but it's hard to provide a substantial amount of support for a product that is charging roughly $15 a month. Do I feel I get more than $15 worth of support value when I need to request it? Yes.

I have tried using the Developer Console, Microsoft's Visual Studio Code with the Salesforce plugins and also Mavens Mate along with Sublime. The latter is deprecated. The rest are either options that are not as fully featured as The Welkin Suite or their setup time is much greater.

Return on Investment
  • I have probably saved about three hours, on larger projects.
  • It has definitely saved me the overhead of having to work with other IDEs that have heavier setup requirements.
