In one of my recent articles, I made a list of
the 7 most popular programming languages on Github in 2019 and JavaScript first
appeared. Because most readers are interested in using JavaScript for their
projects, here is a list of the best JavaScript editors you can use on your Linux
machine.
List of The Best Javascript Text Editor for Linux
1.
Sublime Text 3
Sublime Text 3 is a free / featured,
cross-platform, lightweight, extensible text editor that focuses on speed and
reliability. It is the current version of the popular Sublime Text editors
series, provides autocompletion, code folding, syntax highlighting, and support
for many computer languages from the beginning.
It is fully customizable and can expand its
functions using any of the add-ons available from the developer community
through the convenient package manager. As a JS developer, you will also enjoy
using Git integration, additional difference checkers, and interstitial
blocking features among other things.
2.
Visual Studio Code
Visual Studio Code is a free and open source
code editor and cross platform with a full set of tools for editing and
debugging your code. It has a fully customizable user interface with other
features including Live Share for real-time code collaboration, original Git
integration, syntax highlighting, Intellisense, etc.
Developed by Microsoft with an almost
inexhaustible library of add-ons provided by Redmond Giant or the user
community. It is among the most frequently used editors for any project,
including JavaScript, which has functions such as debugging, autocomplete,
GoTo, and validation.
3.
Emacs
Emacs is a family of powerful, open,
open-source script editors. The most popular are the GNU Emacs. It is fully
customizable and provides many content-sensitive editing features, such as
syntax highlighting and font navigation.
Emacs is not an easy-to-use text editor, as
you might imagine, but it offers an educational start-up along with
comprehensive integrated documentation for professional users.
Is written in Lisp, so Lisp users can adjust
their functionality to meet their needs and users can use add-ins to extend
their functionality beyond just writing code. For example, Emacs can be used as
an e-mail client and news reader.
Emacs are sent in the official distribution
repository for your Linux distribution and is the recommended installation
model.
- [sudo apt install emacs [On Debian/Ubuntu]
- sudo yum install emacs [On CentOS/RHEL]
- sudo dnf install emacs [On Fedora]]
4.
Atom
Atom is a free, open source, and
cross-platform text editor developed and maintained by GitHub. Its features
include native support for many programming languages with syntax highlighting,
code folding, code completion and Git integration instantly. Provides users
with an easy to use package manager to install and manage packages to expand
their functionality.
Atom is an excellent editor for writing JS
code because of its original support for automatic termination, syntax
highlighting and extensibility with accessories. Developers can collaborate on
the code using Teletype and the editor can be upgraded to the IDE state by
installing a set of specific packages to expand its functionality.
5.
VIM
Vim is a powerful, open source, light-weight
command line editor, and has stood the test of time as "one editor for all
of them" because it comes with several Linux distributions by default. It
was created with the placement of the job in mind, so, while it is very
difficult to learn, many professional developers are ready to right.
Like competition, Emacs, Vim does not offer
many functions immediately, but can be configured through preferences, scripts
and plugins to adapt to the project you are working on.
Vim is sent in the repository of your official
Linux distribution package, which is the recommended installation model.
- [sudo apt install vim [On Debian/Ubuntu]
- sudo yum install vim [On CentOS/RHEL]
- sudo dnf install vim [On Fedora]]

6. WebStorm
WebStorm is a paid IDE developed and
maintained by JetBrains for JavaScript projects. It contains a debugger for
both Node.js and client-side applications, the perfect integration of
test-specific tools, REST client, module tests, integration with VCS such as
GitHub, Mercurial, etc.
You can use WebStorm to create projects in
Angular, React, Vue.js, Native, Electron, Node.js, Meteor, Cordova, and Ionic.
Not free to use, but you can rate it for 30 days at no cost.
7.
Bracket
Brackets is a free open source source code
editor developed by Adobe written entirely in JavaScript, HTML and CSS. It is
lightweight and combines the visual tools in the editor to speed up the user's
workflow and reduce the frequency of change between the pages of the file with
the function of the editor online.
Among the various features offered by
Brackets, direct preview, support for SCSS and LESS, integration with Git,
simple W3C auditor, automatic prefix, indent directories, and library support
extensions are free.
8.
Code anywhere
Code Anywhere is an IDE based on a cloud of
payment that allows remote access by FTP, SFTP, Google Drive and Dropbox, among
other remote services. It focuses on container-based development, which allows
users to develop projects from start to finish and even implement them directly
from the cloud.
Prominent features in Code Anywhere also
include a built-in terminal controller, code reviews, code sharing, code
collaboration, integration with Git, GitHub, Bitbucket, etc. Minimum $ 2 /
month.
The right text editor will ultimately depend
on your preferences, project type, community access and guidance support. Once
you do this, you will definitely be effective in your workflow and increase
your productivity.

9.
SpaceMacs
SpaceMacs is a free and open source text
editor that combines the functions of Emacs and Vim into a single text editor
with a focus on the work environment, consistency and reminding.

Emacs nor Vim are the two best editors; both.
