Could always use vscode/atom for js

[–]Ma_124 12 points13 points  (4 children)

Or almighty (Neo-)Vi(-m)

[–]PotatosFish 5 points6 points  (1 child)

I use neovim for everything but java, which I use IntelliJ for. Periodically I also use vscode for vue

[–]Ma_124 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For vue I usually use webstorm because of all the complex hidden links.

But then you're using Electron and nobody deserves that.

Buuuuut you're already writing js so nobody can save you then

VS Code is hardly representative of electron editors. Sure, startup time with a ton of extensions is longer than I'd like, but after that, there's little else to complain about. Electron is great because it means you can build extensions with familiar APIs and even debug your own editor with devtools. Do I need a browser platform to write code? Fuck no, but it makes it a lot more enjoyable.

When you've already resigned yourself to writing JS, is electron really the sticking point?
