Best IDE for web/JavaScript, node dev


I've been using a simple editor (syntax high-lighting only) and the command line for ages. What do y'all recommend as a fully-featured alternative instead?

I recommend having a look at WebStorm as well. I’ve been using it or IDEA Ultimate (which also includes it) for last 5 years at least if not more.

While it has some bugs and rough edges its capabilities are still quite impressive.

Webstorm / intellij is amazing for productivity.

IDE: VSCode

Plugins: ESLint, GitLens, Prettier, Apollo GraphQL, Github Copilot, AutoImport, ES7/React/TypeScript Code Snippets.

VSCode with Plugins get the job done.

PhpStorm/Webstorm.

If you're looking for something free. Netbeans does the jobs for PHP.
