Also, visual studio community edition is free[1] can debug nodejs with an extension[2]. And the capability is integrated into VS Code[3] which works cross-platform.

Those and webstorm/intellij are the ones I have experience with. But most of the time, I just use the CLI debugger -- it's not hard.

Which CLI debugger are you talking about? I thought one didn't exist
It has a built-in debugger that you start using `node debug /path/to/script`. See more here: https://nodejs.org/api/debugger.html
