If you need "plugins" to your EDITOR just to write JavaScript, there is something horrifyingly and/or terrifyingly WRONG with whatever it is you are working on.
Sounds a bit like the emacs nutters who waste more time screwing around making macros than they do producing code that actually runs.
It's an editor. Man up, open it up, and write your damned code!
This is probably part of why vscode seemed like bloated nonsense to me.
