Description

The editor screenshot is super old (look at icons) and the tools listened are pretty dated as well, grunt is rarely used these days for example. Webpack, esbuild or npm are good choices to cover web stuff. The hat one is also unrecognizable to me, searching "msbuild icon" doesn't show that 🤷

Update the image and examples to reflect recognizable current tooling such as webpack, esbuild, or npm, while replacing obsolete or unclear entries. Done means the page presents a current screenshot and relevant web-task tools.
