Why would you use a text editor if you need IDE features?
- pjmlp 13y agoBecause OP was suggesting a 70's development style, hence my remarks.
- logn 13y agoYep. But in my experience, developing JS and HTML in Netbeans feels like 70s style development. After using Eclipse (or Netbeans) for Java development, I find JavaScript development never is that great in IDEs. Maybe they've optimized certain use cases of JS auto-completion and type inference, but for me it always feels like the IDE is just an editor, and a lousy one at that, compared to vim.
- pjmlp 13y agoNetbeans invested a lot into dynamic languages support when the JRuby team worked for Sun. That work has been used for JavaScript as well.
