Very interesting read for sure, I was struggling between using a variety of editors for some basic JavaScript apps. I tend to stay within the Jetbrains area of IDEs and Editors seeing as I mostly use them. However I started to play around with visual studio code for a while and found it pretty nice to use. Specifically like the way that it has a built in terminal (most terminals end up hating me).

I've been an IntelliJ user (Webstorm, Phpstorm) for years, but it has always had terrible performance with JS. I tried VSC with storm key bindings and finally feel productive again. To tell the truth it doesn't do anything that Storm didn't, it just does it faster, with no random pauses.
