I don't know what OP uses but I use VS code and it's pretty good for a free editor.

  OP is litereally ranting about people using text editors for tasks that IDEs excell at, and you are suggesting another text editor.

    VSCode has out-of-the-box support for JS and TS including autocomplete, visual debugging and variable definition lookup. VSCode is an IDE.

    VSCode markets itself as a text editor, but really it's an IDE, especially if you're using TypeScript.

      VScode calls itself a Code Editor, not text editor

    VSCode is way closer to IDE than text editor on that spectrum

      By that definition Emacs is also an ide just in a kit you spend a few hours putting together.

        VS code qualifies as an IDE for React. Just not a very good one. Most things can be solved with plugins though.

    So nobody can give the opposing view point? I use both IDEs and Text Editors depending on the language. I use jetbrains for kotlin/java, and moved from vim to vscode for javascript and any other scripting language (also switched from VS to VSCode for .net) I find developers who try to force their tools on others annoying. I'm much more productive on scripting languages with an editor. They just feel more responsive.

      Of course you can disagree with that! I have written great amounts of all sorts of projects in text editors instead of an IDE. And yes, text editors come in different flavours. VS Code/Sublime Text isn’t the same as Notepad. That being said, the person I replied didn’t make a case of VS Code in any way. The OP asked what to use instead of a text editor like Sublime Text, and the reply was simply “Just use VS Code”. That’s not an argument in any way, that’s just a statement.

WebStorm is the JetBrains tool for JS development.

  WebStorm is where it's at.

VSCode is good for a free editor. But the difference between VSCode/Sublime and Webstorm is night and day.
