[Q] What will be the preferred JavaScript IDE on MacOSX when VSCode gets retired in 2024?

I use ExtendScript Debugger with VSCode for Adobe Javascript on MacOSX. Now I hear that VSCode for MacOSX will be retired in 2024.

 

What will be the best way to script Adobe apps on MacOSX when that happens?

    sttk3 is correct: OP heard incorrectly. (Admittedly, MS’s branding is confusing.)

    VSCode is MS’s modern cross-platform replacement for the old VS4M.

     

    Adobe scripters are not affected by VS4M’s retirement.

    It is Visual Studio for Mac that is being deprecated, which is a separate product from Visual Studio Code. You will probably continue to use it.
