Providing a minimum developer experience

For a basic DX, we must ensure that the development of our micro frontend solution does not work completely differently than the development of any other solution we created beforehand. If, under the hood, a lot of things are different, when these differences are exposed to micro frontend developers, they will need to relearn everything, resulting in a much lower acceptance ratio than expected.

The first step to ensure that developers are fine with the micro frontend setup is to support a smooth development flow in the standard integrated development environments (IDEs).
