Switching From VSCode to DOOM Emacs Recently. Here's My Experience
5 projects | /r/emacs | 3 Sep 2022

Debugging experience ain't all that great on Emacs when compared to VSCode. VSCode just simply wins here. Due to some technical complications, Emacs doesn't support VSCode js-debugger. It does support an older chrome debugger which might or might not work for most. I honestly didn't test it that much. Also, for a debugging workflow, I find it easier to use a mouse than a keyboard. I have been looking at how I can port the js-debugger to Emacs but I'm not sure if I have the necessary skills (BUT I'd still learn a lot). So for debugging I have been relying on VSCode.
Forks of vscode-node2-debug, node DAP options
2 projects | /r/neovim | 28 Jun 2022

vscode-node2-debug is now deprecated despite being the officially recommended dap adapter. The newer vscode-js-debug isn't dap compatible and doesn't look like it will be. I did see some hacks to make vscode-js-debug work, but I didn't try them myself. Some hacks and the compatibility issues are discussed here

Thanks for the update u/Amssstronggg; glad you found the culprit extension. Have you reported the problem already to the extension owners at Issues · microsoft/vscode-js-debug (github.com) ?
