+1! For anyone that doesn't already know Bootstrap and CSS a bit (I suspect Sujit already does), it's best to start small and simple and then build out. There is just so much markup involved. And when you get JS into the mix, one missing comma can screw up your whole day. Over on macOS, I tend to use BBEdit (good structure validator, good search and replace), SublimeText (nicer editor, does some linting, lots of plug-ins), and WebStorm (hideous, oh so hideous...but you can wire in proper linters) simultaneously.
