Hi all,

As an old time NB user (started sometime between 2000 and 2004) I have been
quite devout in my use of NB for all things Java.

As much as I'd like to have seen a Swing-dominate world, it was JS/HTML/CSS
that prevailed.  ;) ;) ;)

20 years later I find that most of my UI work is in Angular, React, or
Ember.

I have tried on several occasions to use NB for this work, but it doesn't
quite seem designed for it. I keep hitting roadblocks.

My question is: Is it Practical to use NetBeans for a Modern "Compiled" JS
app?

e.g. ES7 ==> WebPack ==> Babel ==> etc. ==> etc.

I have used it when I included Angular libraries in the index.html header
directly to great success but since I started having WebPack run things I
have had less success. I love the Chrome integration.

Thanks,

Tom

P.S. As a side note I am looking to do some development work on NB. I D/L
the repo over the break and am starting to poke around.
