I've worked with it in industrial automation systems in large scale manufacturing plants where it was pretty rock solid. And I'm aware of it's use in TV production and transmissions systems.

Take a look at Visual Studio Code. I too have this (probably unfounded) resistance to using full blown Visual Studio for projects outside of work, but have found Code pretty good for developing Javascript and HTML etc. Nice and light, pick a directory as a project, good GIT integration, reasonable text editor, built in debugger etc.

For me it's a good balance between a straight up text editor and full IDE.
