First off, I know not Linux related things go to off topic. I'm not sure if the sender is supposed to direct the topic or not. Sorry if I should be~ I was looking at working on my code again, and decided to try tapping into JavaScript. I'll need a simple IDE (that will of course run on Linux, but most of them do so meh). I've minimal experience with JavaScript, and coding as a whole. My currently favored IDE is Brackets. It's been great so far, and works with JavaScript. Of course, not being familiar with JS, I'm not sure how well it works with JavaScript. Any tips on a similar IDE that may be more compatible with JavaScript and just tips in general about starting with JS would be of great help. I apologize if the question is too vague. Thanks!

Bracket's is more of a text editor than an IDE. If you are looking for a more traditional IDE (ala Eclipse, Visual Basics, etc.) take a look WebStorm[1] (a proprietary IDE) or Eclipse's WebTools[2] (huge Java application). If you are doing web based stuff you should checkout Codepen[3] or Scratchpad[4] in Firefox Developer[5]. They are really great for trying out ideas and playing around.

I'm not sure how it compares with other IDE's, but I use Geany when editing my JS files. It's open source and free: http://plugins.geany.org/downloads.html I also use it with my python editing.
