#32vim/neovim with plugins. i've been using vim for so long now (from my accounts, about ten years?) that using anything else feels just wrong (including VSCode with vim mode, it's quite good but there's like 10% of my usage that it doesn't cover properly and it's super annoying).

#33Emacs, when it's just part of a larger application using a different language, or when the whole environment is even more effed up than usual for JS (eg. ExtJS) and you could parse the code as well as Perl anyway.
VSCode as a stop-gap solution for more substantial JS code. The gap being until I either can configure Emacs properly (language server or something similar), or preferably when I can get rid of JS (and no, not with MS JS++).

#38mapped my workspace so I can work directly within the chrome debugger. not the most petty way but it's darn effective since all objects and data are laid before my eyes and can be inspected and manipulated without braking context
That’s cool. I wonder why Google or Mozilla don’t create an IDE that uses their respective devtools to approximate the runtime introspection of a Lisp Machine. This feels like it should be the default solution given that the tools already exist.

spacemacs has a pretty ok js configuration. you can use LSP with tern and it seems to do a good job most of the time.

#40Vim with snipmate (and a bunch of other plugins).
