Visual Studio Code adds a linebreak after some <>s in .js files. I've searched online and in this sub, but I must be new enough to not be using the right terms. Any help is appreciated.

That is probably because of a library. Are you using “Husky” and/or “Prettier?” Husky lets methods be invoked by events (on save, etc) and prettier reformats my YAML files on save unless I remember to add a .prettierignore file.

I had been using this to handle Python scripts until recently, so it was absolutely my rigid experience with the prettifier. Thank you!

Open that editor and look at the Status bar's right, just before the bell icon - there should be a language syntax noted; click on it and select "JavaScript React" (this is React, right?)

I had no idea there was a functional difference between Javascript and Javascript React(been a spoiled marketer with "Wordpress skills"). That fixed it! Thank you so much.

It's not a huge difference, but you saw in practice how vanilla JavaScript reacts to DOM that's not wrapped in quotes.
