Starting to learn web dev and everyone says VS Code but wondering if there are better options now?

Mainly doing HTML/CSS/JS first, then will move to React. Budget is not an issue.

Started with Sublime, tried JetBrains stuff, always came back to VS Code.

Free, lightweight, customizable AF. What more do you need?

Only thing Id say is – dont sleep on Zed. Its newer but super fast for Rust/JS devs.

VS Code is still the king in 2026 IMO. Been using it for 5 years and nothing comes close.

The extensions ecosystem is unmatched, and it works great with pretty much every language. IntelliCode got way better too.

That said, if you do a lot of web dev, give Cursor a shot – its basically VS Code with AI built in. Game changer.
