I will like to learn Meteor I look I can not see the IDE that is suitable for Meteor development.
Can Meteor people make at least some suggestion on  meteor official site ?

Try WebStorm. Best autocompletion I've ever seen.

I use Sublime Text with the terminal - not an IDE per se, but it does a great job.

Another vote for WebStorm - it helps a lot for HTML, CSS and javascript, which Meteor uses liberally.
No Meteor-specific features yet, but it IS in the roadmap of the next version.

Yep +1 for WebStorm or even better IntellIj which has support for lots more languages.

http://www.meteorpedia.com/read/Category:Development_Environments

You can see on the Sublime Text page in that category, the video of the TernJS plugin Slava made.
Same goes for the 'vim' page, listed in the bottom of the category without a write-up.

Webstorm fans, would be great if any of you fixed up the Webstorm page a bit.  There's a ready a link to the vote for Meteor support, not sure if anyone else is using Meteor snippets or anything.

Beyond that, the page also lists Nitrou.IO and Cloud9 IDE, two cloud-based IDE's which some devs are using.

I'm on Ubuntu and i use Webstorm.
I like it very much but it's memory hungry (java inside).

I actually think autocompletion in WebStorm is terrible (it suggest every possible method from a lot of unrelated objects), but other than that, it's a very powerful IDE for Node.js (and Meteor by extension), with full server-side remote debugging, synchronization with a remote server, GitHub integration, .jshintrc support, etc.

Check out Abigail's guide to Webstorm in the Meteor Cookbook. I've recently added a bunch of improvements.

Problem is, WebStorm doesn't support Meteor per se, just Node.js. For instance, if you're debugging and save a file, Meteor will restart but the debugger connection will be lost.

I use Ubuntu and IntelliJ (Webstorm's bigger brother).

Worth every penny IMO.

Atom.

Just kidding. (: But it is nice.

Webstorm is great, so I would use that except for simple projects.

Julien excellent choice. How about it being a web app itself. I'm loving the experience. Works well on Ubuntu as well. 

SublimeText is also a good choice also but I don't know about IDE's, Intellij ones are great but it feels a bit of an overkill using and IDE for meteor even more so when smart text editors do a good job at it.

Unix is my IDE.

There is a steep learning curve but if programming is your profession, I'd encourage you to explore the tools available in the base OS.  I've found myself to be much more productive since switching off a traditional IDE.

Regarding editors, you will do well with any of Vim, Sublime (osx), or Emacs.  Try them out and see what feels best to you.

Note that the shell terminal and most programs that allow text input on *nix default to Emacs key-bindings so there is a lot of value in learning those even if you don't use Emacs as your primary editor.  You can also easily switch the default to vi-mode; my preference since vim is my editor of choice.

If you really like the traditional IDE feel, IntelliJ / WebStorm is quite nice.

 I use Webstorm as well. The learning curve is not so steep and you can get into more advanced features as you get more comfortable.

I use PhpStorm (WebStorm's older brother) as my main IDE, but I like the way Brackets is developing. As a bit of trivia, Brackets is built with JavaScript and is free. PhpStorm, WebStorm, and just about anything from JetBrains must be paid for unless you're doing development on an open source project. 

So you can try them all out and find the one that fits you.
