I agree with you about IDEs. I love Visual Studio though I'm not as proficient as I should be. A big issue about them is, in the JavaScript community, I can't speak for other languages, there aren't many that do everything in one box. And the ecosystem is moving so fast that almost unreasonable to expect one to keep up, especially with all of the different flavors.

I'd love to do something like you did, moving shop. I'm also I .NET dev but I want to do more in JavaScript. Not that I have anything against C#/.NET but it's mostly back-end work and I like working on the front-end/UI.
