What tools do you use for ExtendScript development?

Hello fellow ExtendScript developers! As a software developer, working on scripts for InDesign and other Adobe products from time to time, I was wondering,  what tools do other developers use nowadays? Some time ago I was using ESTK but since it's not working on MacOS anymore… As I am full-time Java developer, I am used to (and spoiled by) IntelliJ' IDEA. Visual Studio Code is a nice code editor but I am not a big fan of it… I tried using IntelliJ's JavaScript support for ES development and, I must admit that Visual Studio Code provides more integrated experience… So, what are your tools of choice?

Hello,
I am now using Visual Studio but, like you, am not a fan of it. Loved
ExtendScript; it was elegant and easy enough for the "average" user.
Just thought I would add my 2 cents worth.
