You didn't specify the platform, but Visual Studio with Visual Assist X surprisingly makes for a really good JS editor. I've found it a lot faster and easier on my system than the larger Java-based JS editors (JSEclipse, Komodo etc).
It doesn't have integrated debugging, it costs a lot, and people won't believe you when you tell them about it, however.
- evo_9 16y agoYeah, I like VisualStudio 2010 also, I know it's not a popular choice amongst HN'ers, but MS started as a Tools company and out of everything they make, I think their dev tools are actual quite good. I do a lot of JS/jQuery coding and it works reasonably well. I'm curious about Visual Assist X - does it add more/better support for Javascript and/or jQuery? I also use Aptana Studio on OSX when I do pure UI coding. It's not bad for pure JS/jQuery but their isn't much autocomplete support. Edit: Side note on the cost of VisualStudio 2010 - I signed up for MS's BizSpark program and was given a free MSDN license including full copies of VisualStudio 2010, SQL 2008, etc.
