NodeJS is not used. In the backend, the server used is Yaws, which is developed in Erlang, one of the first fully targeted languages for competing applications.

On the front, there is no specific technology. Apparently, everything is developed in-house. Note only the use of Material Design, flex-box (when supported), ReactJS, Modernizr (to identify what the browser supports), MomentJS, VelocityJS in animations.

On editors, etc., I believe there is not a specific one. Facebook does not restrict its employees to a specific publisher or IDE. Just the flow of tests and CI of them that is mandatory (remember that Facebook bought WhatsApp).
