My Top 5 Tools for Web Development

On a daily basis, each one of us uses a set of tools to increase our productivity, from the OS we use to our browsers, IDEs and much more. Today I’m going to tell you about the 5 tools I install right after I get a new OS and I use on my day to day as a full stack developer.
IDE
I’ve been using their IDEs, mainly Webstorm and PyCharm for many years now, and without regret, suggestions, and autocompletion are first class, there’s a huge plugin ecosystem for pretty much anything you can think of. I can really do everything from their UI, from running, visualizing, and debugging my code and tests, to great git integration, refactoring, etc. It even allows me to sync my settings and plugins across my devices. It just works amazingly for me.
To be fair, I have also tried other tools like Sublime, or VS Code, not very impressed by Sublime, VS Code I see how people love it so much, plus it’s free and open source, however, it does not work the same for me. If I would not have my Jetbrains IDEs I guess I would default back to VS Code, though it would be very painful, at least initially.
Would I recommend you to do the switch? Not necessarily, There are many great alternatives, many of which are even free. However, I do usually say to give Jetbrains a try, get the trial version, if then you think it’s worth it, buy it, no harm is done.
Get your favorite Jetbrains IDE here or VS Code from here .
BTW, if you plan on using VS Code make sure you have these plugins for JavaScript and Python .
