Emacs with some extension that highlights undefined variables and missing semicolons. My laptop is off now, I can't check which one. Probably one of the common modes.

Google Docs, because, according to the Google interview process, that makes some sort of sense.

There is nothing like writing code in a word processor.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

This would seem a weird answer indeed if you don't have context -- which is that VSCode (Microsoft) is developed with native handling of Typescript (Microsoft) -- so is somewhat of the standard in that regard.

The answer is tongue-in-cheek. Basically, don't write JavaScript, write TypeScript and transpile.

VSCode, although when Panic's successor to Coda drops I'll probably switch to that. https://panic.com/next/

Very interested in this as well; have you worked with a pre-release or what gives you confidence in switching?

No early access or anything! I've just been happily using their software for 10+ years.

For TypeScript, Emacs TIDE is very good. Not sure how well it works with vanilla JS.

mapped 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

I’d love to read a blog post about this. I often pause the chrome debugger and keep it open in a window next to my editor (VS Code, for those counting).

VSC is monster good and it makes me wonder of the competition in this space for the next few years.
