The last time I did any web development it was at a company that forced us to all use MS Windows and Visual Studio Code. I haven't done anything like that in a while and I don't even have access to a Windows install, but I want to do a bit of REACT-style web development (mostly remembering how to do it, i.e. basic tutorials.)

I guess I could install Visual Studio Code in Linux, but I'd like to take this opportunity to start using a better IDE. What's the best privacy-respecting IDE for REACT-style web development?

Thanks.

Apologies for the boring answer, but I just use VSCodium which is basically VS Code but compiled without the Microsoft specific stuff, including telemetry.

I mostly use it because it still works with the VS Code extensions that I need and it's handy to have a dev environment that's similar to my coworkers' (who mostly use VS Code)
