Answer 1

Single Quotes

I wish double quotes were the standard, because they make a little bit more sense, but I keep using single quotes because they dominate the scene.

Single quotes:

• Airbnb
• Facebook
• Google
• Grunt
• Gulp.js
• Node.js
• npm (though not defined in the author's guide)
• Wikimedia
• WordPress
• Yandex

No preference:

• Three.js

Double quotes:

• TypeScript
• Douglas Crockford
• D3.js (though not defined in .eslintrc)
• jQuery
