I was actually looking into that over the last few days and haven't found anything satisfying yet.
I have tried Aptana, WebStorm (from Jet brains), textmate, bbedit, jseclipse, visual studio, vim. But still haven"t found what I am hoping to find.
I find the eclipse based solutions (Aptana and jseclipse) are too slow for my taste and while they do provide things like completion, it is fairly limited to the obvious things. Aptana probably does what you are looking for, it has a debugger that integrate with your browser.
I tought webstorm seemed better but it is also a bit slow and brings a bit too much with it. Give it a try it may be what you are looking it also has debugger integration.
I couldn't find any special editing facilities other than text highlighting and indentation in bbedit and eventually gave up. TextMate does it ok but since I am not that familiar with javascript and the libraries I am using, I was hoping for something that would let me edit and introspect things at the same time. its really comparable to what you could achieve with vim or emacs.
- DTrejo 16y agoI've really enjoyed using Textmate with various JS bundles like Javascript Tools (comes with jslint, js beautify, and some snippets). Regarding a "more full development environment," my good friend said the following to me: IDEs can be nice, as they help you handle complicated code. On the other hand, they don't prevent you from writing complicated code in the first place.
- igrekel 16y agoI was more looking for a more complete IDE because I am not very familiar with javascript and JQuery and hope it would make looking up available functions easier.
