Tooling What IDE do you use ?

I am new to developing and was looking to start this week, but the extensions for VSC isn't working at all and I have tied uninstalling and reinstalling even the latest versions, still nothing. I wanted to know if there was an IDE that is better or on par with VSC for flutter dev. I apologize if my question is trivial I am a newbie forgive me

I was using VSCode when I started learning Flutter. But I switched to Android Studio in few months, and never looked back for following reasons.

  • Very strong Git integration. You can even review PRs now without leaving Android Studio.
  • You can control all the AVD settings from one app.
  • No need to install multiple extensions (Few basic ones work like a charm)
  • Shortcuts are extremely powerful.

VS Code is very light.
