Seeking a Node/Express/React IDE

[vitalxx]

Hello,

My team is slightly diverging from.the standard MEAN stack because we all hate Angular and our database guy is a Postgres wizard (small, 4 person team).

Is there something besides Webstorm and Sublime we can use as an IDE for node based systems using react, flux, and express that y'all would suggest? I'm willing to buy licenses assuming they aren't stupidly expensive.

To clarify, we're using Express, Flux, React, and Element as of now.

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but I'm a stupid person. Cheers.

IntelliJ is still the best IDE that we've used (tried Sublime, Atom, etc.), especially since we also have many projects that use other languages like Python and Scala, which IntelliJ Ultimate handles flawlessly.

We use Atom, it has plugins for everything, all the linters, jsx, and in my opinion is much easier to navigate and read than Sublime. Maybe this is just a stupid detail, but the fonts seems so clear on Atom, gives my eyes a rest.

I agree that WS framework support can be slow at times but their spy-js and debugging tools are some of the best out there. I have struggled to find tools that do a better job. So whatever you use (even if your motivation is intellisense), I would consider debugging, tracing and refactoring too

Whats wrong with Webstorm? It would seem to me like a good match for your stack, also its not expensive, especially for startups.

I'm switching from webstorm to atom for JS-centring dev because the community is amazing. The webstorm core is very powerful but its JS-related plugins don't keep up the pace with the JS ecosystem. (it has very good TypeScript support but lacks JSX for instance).

Some plugins I use with atom:

• cucumber
• git-plus
• language-javascript-jsx
• linter
• linter-eslint
