There is no "have to" thing.
Well, there would be many good IDEs besides atom. For example; Microsoft Visual Studio Code.
But some ppl hate to use heavy IDE, so they could prefer more simpler like notepad++. Even someone might prefer to use just notepad or wordpad.

Just for me, I like atom.

I use notepad++ on windows, and the free bitvise ssh client. https://bitvise.com/ssh-client
the bitvise client opens both an SSH terminal window and a windows like file navigation window
notepad++ can save files with windows or linux line ends (and decide automatically if u want)
I have 5 system connections open at once, with multiple commandlines on one (run stuff, debug from another window, monitor cpu use in another)

I think the error might be caused by ’ and ”. Those are not allowed as quotation marks of javascript language.

module: ‘MMM-Tankerkoenig’,

should be

module: 'MMM-Tankerkoenig',

Others are same.
You can find&replace in your notepad++

@kusselin sorry, I do not understand…

cut/paste is builtin and not special.

as per Sean’s post, those appear to be quotes from MS word type documents,.
MagicMirror needs text quotes, " and ’
