Favorite Javascript IDE?

What's your favorite development environment for writing javascript for Roll20?

I've been using Notepad++ for writing code and jshint.com for checking it.
I suspect there might be something better than Notepad++ though.

For me, it's VIM. (Obviously the best text editor ever made...), but it has a steep learning curve. I'd say you start to get a feeling for it after 100 hours, and gain a measure of proficiency after 500 hours. As a programmer, I use it daily at work, and nightly at home. I've probably got a 10,000+ hours in it by now. 

I have VIM setup to update my lastUpdate time stamp whenever I save and also run JSHint against the file and display the results. 

Moderator note: it's against the CoC to link to an outside sales site. Please keep discussion as relevant to to the Roll20 API as possible. You have been warned! =D

Visual Studio for me.  Most because I do more then just Javascript

For Roll20 scripts, I mostly actually use the built-in editor. >.>

Could you give us a hint on the packages and settings you're using for vim?

For me: IntelliJ (WebStorm). My code is quite modular and the ability to search through certain sections or find and replace with regex or the many other features is crucial.

Some of the bundles I have installed for Javascript (using Vundle):

Bundle 'maksimr/vim-jsbeautify'
Bundle 'einars/js-beautify'
Bundle 'elzr/vim-json'
Bundle 'Shutnik/jshint2.vim'
Bundle 'othree/yajs'
Bundle 'JavaScript-Indent'

And for git (I keep my development work in a private BitBucket Repo):

Bundle 'tpope/vim-fugitive'

And then in my .vimrc for updating lastUpdate:

augroup javascript
	function! UpdateTimestamp ()
		let l:winview = winsaveview()
		silent! execute "%s/\\<lastUpdate\\s*=\\s*\\zs\\d\\+\\ze[,;]$/\\= " . localtime() . "/"
		call winrestview(l:winview)
	endfunction
	autocmd BufWritePre,FileWritePre,FileAppendPre *.js :call UpdateTimestamp()
autogroup END

PM me if you wanna talk VIM in greater detail. =D

I prefer Atom IO. It has a fairly simple interface, built-in github integration, and it's easy to hack custom plugins onto it using javascript/coffeescript and CSS.

+1 for Atom as well; it's got lots of different styles and packages (there is a JS linter) for whatever you need, and it's decently lightweight as well. I'm trying to make it into a C++ IDE to learn with too.

Lots of great ideas here!

Very tempting to learn VIM.. not sure if I'm up for the 100 hours though.
I'll check out Atom for now.

I'd put in a vote for some flavour of Intellij  as well. I've been down the text-editor route in the past with both emacs and vim (heresy!) and they're great, powerful programs, but in the end they never give you quite the level of smooth integration that you get with an IDE. Eclipse is good as well, but last time I used it (a while back) I found it quite buggy and occasionally quite obtuse in that typically OSS it-nearly-all-works-together-but-none-of-the-developers-can-agree kind of way. I also heard good things about VS Code.

VIM is life

Visual Studio Code is awesome for JavaScript and TypeScript editing, which is what I do most of my scripts in. TS along with TSLint helps to reduce JS errors by a ton.
