Hello everyone, may I know what IDE/Editor are you guys using for SuiteScript development in general? I've been using Visual Studio Code since the past 2 years and have been really satisfied with it, but I feel like I'm missing out on the features provided by SuiteCloud IDE. Do you think Eclipse is a better option? I really have been keeping my distance with Eclipse because in my experience it is quite heavy. But wanted to have an opinion from the community members on this.

If you’re using VS Code I would suspect you’re probably using NetSuite SDF extension so you’re not really missing a lot from the NetSuite plugin available in Webstorm and Eclipse. That coupled with the node cli probably being the future it almost feels like moving to Eclipse is a step backwards

@JohnnyC I'm not familiar with the NetSuite SDF extension. I've been using SuiteSnippets though which has proved to be handy, but of course it does not provide any integration features. Can you lead me to a site where I can find more info about the NetSuite SDF extension please?

I would say Eclipse is not better (my personal opinion). Even with the added benefits of the SuiteCloud IDE plug-in, it can't overcome Eclipse's very poor JavaScript support which only supports up to ECMAScript 3, and lack of support for linting and code formatting tools. WebStorm is perhaps the only IDE that really matches or exceeds VS Code for NetSuite development.

@scottvonduhn Thanks for the feedback, I am definitely considering WebStorm given that I see it is being used a lot by SuiteScript developers.

This is the Netsuite SDF extension https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=christopherwxyz.netsuitesdf

Thanks for the tips, @JohnnyC!

If you are interested in typescript to write suitescript, the team from Head in the Cloud has done a great job making that posssible.
