IDE for JavaScript development [closed]

What do you suggest for JS development IDE. Is there something similar to VisualStudio IDE, so I can run/debug my application in it?

Solution 1:

At JetBrains we've just developed lightweight HTML/Javascript/CSS IDE WebStorm that includes very smart JavaScript Editor with DOM-based autocompletion and HTML5 API support. It allows you to debug(breakpoints supported) and run your scripts directly from IDE.

Solution 2:

A few options:

• Visual Studio 2008 (including VWD Express, http://blog.berniesumption.com/software/how-to-debug-javascript-in-internet-explorer/)
• Adobe Dreamweaver CS4
• Notepad++ (or any other text editor), Firefox and Firebug

Solution 3:

I think IntellJ's JavaScript support is excellent, just like everything else that they do.

Solution 4:

Netbeans 6.x and Firefox+Firebug

In the past I used Aptana Standalone or as a Eclipse plugin. The Pro version has some nice addons like the embedded IE (to the always embedded Firefox) and debugging support for both browsers. I found after hours of testing, that Suns Netbeans is the best PHP and Python IDE for Windows and Linux. I was surprised that also Javascript support can hold the candle to Aptana. So Netbeans is my recommendation (not only for Javascript).

Give it a try, its free!
