We Develop Outside of Salesforce, not Inside

When we create Apex classes, Apex triggers, and Visualforce pages we have the option of using Salesforce’s built-in Developer Console to create and edit these components.

With Lightning Web Components things are different. We build and edit them using the Visual Studio Code IDE with the Salesforce Extension Pack. With these tools we can deploy code to our org using methods similar to Sublime and Eclipse IDEs.
