The improved js-mode in 27.x is definitely worth checking out, especially if you use React/JSX. Had many issues wrestling with indentation in previous setup. https://github.com/mooz/js2-mode/blob/master/README.md#react...
I really love spacemacs but I just genuinely don't have time to screw around with my editor constantly, so I ported the bindings I found essential from spacemacs, turned on VS Code's vim emulation, and it's actually been a pretty good experience. It's not perfect, but it's good enough.
Alternatively, could somebody convince the author of the railwaycat port (Emacs with better macOS integration) to get a version 27 out soon?
You might as well look at the thread js2-mode was revoked[0] and ergoemacs' article[1].

Er... I would like to point out that it's not 'railwaycat' port but more of Mitsuharu Yamamoto's port[2], and AFAIK he has claimed that he has no interest in maintaing an emacs27 version.

I couldn't remember the name of Yamamoto, which is why I said the author of the railwaycat port, where the latter is mostly packaging if I understand it correctly. But Yamamoto is doing most of the heavy lifting yes, and I'm thankful for it.
