I have written Ocaml, Java, C, C++, Ada and Python professionally in my career. I either used an editor or an IDE. I had a plugin for eMacs when doing Ocaml but the experience was really subpar (that was before Merlin - yes, I’m that old).

I’m sorry but having used both. VSCode is not faster than Eclipse. It’s far less good at writing Java however.

You are not really answering my question by the way. So people are indeed using VsCode because there are no proper IDE for JS and TypeScript?

Yes, that's it. There are plugins for everything and mostly works. Not the biggest fan of it anymore tho so looking for my next IDE or develop one for my liking using AI.

When you project your own experience over everyone else's it doesn't seem like you genuinely want to understand.
