Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best IDE for JavaScript?

WebStorm and Visual Studio Code are the most common choices: WebStorm is a full IDE out of the box, while VS Code is a free editor extended with plugins.

Can I develop JavaScript in the browser?

Yes. VS Code for the Web, GitHub Codespaces, StackBlitz, CodeSandbox and Replit provide browser-based environments.

What happened to Brackets and Komodo IDE?

Adobe's Brackets repository was archived in 2022 and Phoenix Code continues it. The Komodo IDE page returned 404 when checked, so it was removed.
