I've become a huge fan of Webstorm since focusing on developing MEAN-stack apps. 30 day trial, and $50 for a license. Not too bad if your dev activities are generating income.

I can only second this. Webstorm hands down.

Been using VIM for all coding. Recently started using Adobe Brackets & I like it. I might switch to it.

On a Mac: I'm a big fan of Sublime. The only things I don't like are the counter-intuitive keyboard shortcuts. On a PC: Notepad++ In the terminal: vi or vim

After having used Notepad++ for years I've switched to Sublime as its cross platform and has linting. I agree with you on the shortcuts though.

Atom.io is a nice one that's similar to Sublime Text - again comes with linting. Has a slight issue of 2MB being the largest file that it can handle, but otherwise very nice.

I just use Netbeans though as its my main overall IDE

I will go ahead and give it a third. The javascript debugger is amazing. I believe it also has an extension for chrome that allows you to debug front side code in the debugger.

I mostly use Brackets in my work and it's really good for editing JS files and has a lot of stuff like themes and plugins.

I don't use an IDE. Text editing is done in Vim. Debugging/profiling and quick prototyping are done in the browser using a mix of built-in dev tools and extensions.

Me too. Especially for Linux development and quick edit in the server or vm where space and memory might be limited.

Sublime Text 3 for me. It's not really an IDE but you can make it like one by using extensions such as SublimeLinter, build tasks and SublimeCodeIntel (which I sadly can't get working)

>SublimeCodeIntel

If you're using it for code completion, then you should try the "Better Completion" plugin.
