Description

As per mdn/mdn#822, the Tools and setup section of the learning area is outdated and repeats content available elsewhere on MDN. It is also a maintenance burden — quite a few parts of it would be better updated so they point to the tool manufacturer's docs rather than us repeating it.

This PR updates the Tools and setup section to fix this problem. The following list provides notes on what I've done for each article in the section:

There are only two articles left in the "Tools and setup" section now, so maybe a future PR could look at restructuring further.
