I think the problem you are experiencing, Greg, is that you are looking for the "right" way to write Javascript apps. Is that what you mean by "best practice"? I look at that as being similar to someone saying they are looking for the "right" woman. There is no "right" woman, there are just a larg

Greg, you could use VSCode, but I've not tried it out to see. Sublime might be a good JS editor. You realise that VS2015 is now in beta, and you are their main tester. They have sneakily put you on the team without your knowledge. Once you have found all of the bugs they will fix those, and releas
