What code editor or setup do you use for JavaScript in 2026, and why?

by•

Curious how everyone’s JavaScript setup looks these days. Tools change fast, and I’d like to see what people actually use day to day.

  • Editor/IDE: VS Code, WebStorm, Neovim, Zed, Cursor, something else?

  • Runtime and tooling: Node, Bun, Deno? npm, pnpm or yarn?

  • Extras: TypeScript or plain JS? Favorite extensions, linters or formatters?

  • Quick experiments: do you open a file, use the browser console, or use an online playground?

Also, what made you pick your setup, and is there anything you switched away from and why?

I’ll go first: [add your own setup here, e.g. “I use VS Code with ESLint and Prettier, and I test quick snippets in an online playground”]

Looking forward to your answers! 👇
