There&#x27;s also the subtle laziness that double quotes require an extra keypress (Shift). It&#x27;s not a great reason to prefer single quotes over double quotes, but it is a useful reason if you are writing a lot of strings.<p>JS has a lot of things that key off strings (because it doesn&#x27;t have a proper enum type and the Symbol type is too new for a lot of usage yet), so you type a lot of &quot;non-English text&quot; strings, so single quotes make a lot of sense for the majority of uses of strings in JS. English text I typically still &quot;double quote&quot; or `template string quote`.
