The last time I did any web development it was at a company that forced us to all use MS Windows and Visual Studio Code. I haven’t done anything like that in a while and I don’t even have access to a Windows install, but I want to do a bit of REACT-style web development (mostly remembering how to do it, i.e. basic tutorials.)

I guess I could install Visual Studio Code in Linux, but I’d like to take this opportunity to start using a better IDE. What’s the best privacy-respecting IDE for REACT-style web development?

Thanks.

    I use DOOM Emacs. is it potentially a bit of overkill? sure. but it’s got all the plugins I need, built in terminal, built in git tui, built in file manager, and depending on what i’m writing web dev stuff in it automatically sets up a sort of basic bootstrap for me.

    Yes there is a bit of a learning curve but honestly I just don’t bother using anything else now.

    Kate is also great.

      Aw yeah I used Emacs way back like 20+ years ago, I’ll take a look at that framework (and Kate), thanks.
