I use Visual Studio Code because at this time is a mature software and I can do practically everything using it.

• It's free and open source: The project is hosted on GitHub and it’s free to download, fork, modify and contribute to the project.

• Multi-platform: You can download binaries for different platforms, included Windows (x64), MacOS and Linux (.rpm and .deb packages)

• LightWeight: It runs smoothly in different devices. It has an average memory and CPU usage. Starts almost immediately and it’s very stable.

• Extended language support: Supports by default the majority of the most used languages and syntax like JavaScript, HTML, C#, Swift, Java, PHP, Python and others. Also, VS Code supports different file types associated to projects like .ini, .properties, XML and JSON files.

• Integrated tools: Includes an integrated terminal, debugger, problem list and console output inspector. The project navigator sidebar is simple and powerful: you can manage your files and folders with ease. The command palette helps you find commands by text. The search widget has a powerful auto-complete feature to search and find your files.

• Extensible and configurable: There are many extensions available for every language supported, including syntax highlighters, IntelliSense and code completion, and debuggers. There are also extension to manage application configuration and architecture like Docker and Jenkins.

• Integrated with Git: You can visually manage your project repositories, pull, commit and push your changes, and easy conflict resolution.( there is support for SVN (Subversion) users by plugin)

I worked with both Vue.js and React. Some of the advantages I found using Vue over React:

• The component model can be developed separating domain-specific aspects (component markup (template), logic (Javascript/typescript/babel), and style (css). In React, using JSX, sometimes you are mixing this concepts in the same code, and difficult for a designer, for example, to work on components without having JS/JSX experience.
• I found Vue better suitable to create component-based and static content web pages without compromising SEO content optimization. In React, basically I need to start with an empty-content page dinamically created.
• Vue Property declaration is very straightforward with types and defaults. Also in React has some improvements, for example, propagating properties inside child components
• About additional tools, both Vue and React has the most commonly used tools (front-end frameworks, state management, resource loading)
