Visual Studio Code (VS Code) is one of the best code editors/IDEs out there. It's free and it's cross-platform. The remarkable thing is that VS Code has the lightning fast performance of a code editor, think NotePad++ or Sublime Text, but the feature set and conveniences of costly IDEs, think Visual Studio or WebStorm. For JavaScript development, this speed is essential and is a tremendous quality-of-life improvement for a developer, who frequently switches back and forth between different projects. VS Code brings together an integrated terminal, easy-to-use extension system, transparent settings, excellent search and replace functionalities, and, in my opinion, the best Node.js debugger that exists.
