#VSCODE VS WEBSTORM CODE#

VS Code is, first of all, an editor, but after installing the necessary plugins for front-end development, its functionality will approach the IDE. Here is how my VS Code looks like Plugins It probably looks better with font size 13 and zoom 0, but bigger elements are safer for the eyes. Even for old-school IntelliJ IDEA users, VS Code market can propose a Darcula IntelliJ theme 🙃.Īlso, I set the editor font size 12 and zoom level to 1. I’m sure you will find something appropriate for you. The coolest for my eye: One Dark Pro, Material, and Nord. But of course, there are tons of themes in VS Code market. However, I would only recommend Seti or Material icons with it. UI themeĭefault theme Dark+ is fantastic.

First launchĬompering with WebStorm, VS Code will surprise you with boot time. But what if you work for a company that doesn’t provide a license, or maybe you are tired from slow start-up time and wanna try something new.

At the same time, I sometimes need to work with the server-side of projects. I have to work on many projects, and each uses different languages and technologies.

Requirements for my development environment Instead, I would like to tell you how I migrated from WebStorm to VS Code many years ago, how I configured it, and especially what we can do to have 3 column diff tool like in WebStorm.

In this article, I’m not going to compare WebStorm with VS Code or share the list of top plugins.
