A developer's IDE is a very personal choice. In the olden days, developers would wage proverbial wars over the choice between Emacs or Vim. Today, we are apparently more cool-headed (at least some of us). Ultimately, the choice is dependent on which tool you are most productive in. If you find yourself fighting with the tool rather than just writing code, then it might not be the right choice. As with most things, it's more important to make choices based on what best fits your personal and unique style, rather than follow any prescribed doctrine.
Flutter provides official plugins for three popular IDEs:
- Android Studio
- Visual Studio Code (VS Code)
- IntelliJ IDEA
Let's compare and configure all three and find out which one might be right for you.
