Flexbox and Grids: your layout’s best friends

It also has 6000+ unresolved issues reported, a lot of them open for 3-4 years with little hope of getting fixed. They keep rolling out half-baked support for the trendiest new JS frameworks, while basic parts of the IDE are falling apart every day. (For example, when opening the mentioned "Search Everywhere" dialog, sometimes it just doesn't receive focus. Good luck with that productivity.)

Meanwhile, after launch, the IDE grabs focus about six times while loading. Symbol navigation sometimes picks up random unrelated functions from ignored folders instead of the one sitting right beside the file, because it has the same name. Want autocomplete for that vertical-align's value? It just throws up every possible value for any CSS property.

Pretty bad when code editors running in a browser engine are getting more usable than your paid product.

Yeah, the unresolved bug reports are pretty annoying. I ran into similar problems trying to get Live Edit working with AngularJS.

Even after excluding a directory? If you have autogenerated build folders (e.g. dist/, out/, etc) you have to mark them as Excluded: https://i.imgur.com/E2uXJzu.png

Odd. I haven't noticed that, but I'll watch out for it.

This usually happens from node_modules, marked as a library folder, so it's indexed and might even be relevant, but it shouldn't really be a better match than the one in the source. And it's not even consistent.

Hope they'll get their shit together, it used to be a pretty great IDE before these annoyances started piling up.

Ah yeah, I've always excluded node_modules. That's true though, it should probably be indexed.
