That's why @Souvir may have changed my life with this tweet:
I have never put much thought into brackets but I've been using the Bracket Pair Colorizer extension in VSCode for a few days now and I'll never go without it. Those of use who work regularly with the mess that JSX can create will appreciate this extension even more!

I love VSCode and actually built one of the top five themes on the marketplace (called Shades of Purple) — but having multi-colored brackets just messes with my head lol. It makes the syntax look weird.
Don’t get me wrong, I get that it helps but this is a bit out there for me having such a weird colorful syntax. What are your thoughts on that?
Looking forward, peace! ✌️
And Rainbow Brackets if using PHPStorm. (https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/10080-rainbow-brackets)
it’s exactly a nice tool.
