The ultimate WebStorm setup

How to set up a perfect code editor in less than 10 minutes

As developers, we spent countless hours reading and writing code. Usually, we do that with an integrated development environment.

We spend a major amount of our time looking at the IDE, so why not take 10 minutes to configure our IDE to look astonishing?

In this blog post, I share my preferred IDE setup with you and walk you through all the necessary setup needed.

Which IDE to choose?

Today, there are many great options on the market. Before we dive into the configurations and plugins, we first have to decide which IDE we will use.

Throughout my last seven years of programming, I tried various IDEs and editors like VS Code, Sublime, and, believe it or not, even VIM.

To me, the JetBrains products stand out and are unmatched in their functionality. Especially the integrated Git features are just outstanding.

Furthermore, JetBrains offers great IDEs for your preferred language. Are you coding in Java? Or do you prefer JavaScript? Doesn’t matter, there’s a JetBrains product for the job.
