I've relied on IntelliJ IDEA for all my development (JavaScript, Python, Scala & Java). It's pretty cool.

As for a lightweight editor, I use GEdit with a bunch of plugins added on on my Ubuntu dev box.

Personally, I just use gedit. The only thing I really care about is
syntax hilighting, and window tabs are a nice plus. Gedit does that
and not much else, so it works out. One time I tried a bunch of
plugins and it was a disaster for me. I found a lot of tools more
distracting than useful.

Vim's alright but I'm too lazy to learn how to use it effectively.
Sublime Text looks cool too. In the end though, I don't think it
really matters as much as some people think it does, as long as you
have enough of the basics and aren't distracted by the interface.

I went from netbeans, to jEdit, to jetBrains webstorm. 

I'm very happy with webstorm at the moment.  It is good for coffeescript also.  I got it at half-price.  I don't know if that deal is over.  It has almost all of the editor features of every one I've used before.

Tried eclipse - less than happy with it. Been using Eclipse for a while for ColdFusion (both open source CFEclipse and commercial ColdFusion Builder); powerful, but eats so much memory, more lag than I'd like, and you really have to shut down it's auto-complete to get decent performance. I have yet to try the new Eclipse plugin for node.js. (sorry no URL - saw it come through in recent days)

Sublime Text 2 - love the speed, and how it gets out of the way.  So freaking easy on Mac, especially if you feel at home on CLI.

I used to swear by TextMate, but I switched to Sublime Text 2 a couple months ago and haven't looked back.. For those of you (like me) who like vim, check out Sublime's vintage mode http://www.sublimetext.com/docs/2/vintage.html

[Jamund Ferguson]

I use Coda. It's awesome.

[Heinrich Göbl]

I use JetBrains IntelliJ IDEA (for all languages). It's expensive but
invaluable for my daily work.
For smaller budgets I can recommend JetBrains WebStorm or PhpStorm.
There is a Node.js plugin for all mentioned products which is awesome.
And you have a debugger for Node.js and Firefox and Chrome.
The IDE runs on Linux, Mac OS and Windows.
One personal license is valid for all envs.
There are free licenses for open source projects.

You should give it a try and you'll never look back!
// I really don't work for JetBrains - I'm just thrilled about their
products.

[Srirangan]

Ditto. And JetBrains not only makes an awesome IDE but they are very generous towards open source projects.

You should definitely try out IntelliJ IDEA. I find it invaluable as I end up coding in multiple technologies all the time.

VIM definitely, since you don't need the all the slow IDE crap to edit Javascript. But also VIM with plenty of plugins, since VIM isn't great at Javascript editing out of the box

Surround, NERDCommenter, Matchit, ultisnips, tagbar / doctorjs, jslint, javascript.vim for syntax

I tried Sublime Text 2 and it's beautiful, but I already felt helpless without a lot of VIM commands, even with the Vintage plugin.

[Mark Hahn]

>  since you don't need the all the slow IDE crap to edit Javascript 

Since when are IDEs slow?  Reference?

--

[Andy]

I mean specifically when editing more complex languages like Java, where things like autocomplete, automatically generating import statements, and type checking all happening while typing can cause serious lag between hitting a keystroke and seeing a result, or even just opening the application. For Javascript it's probably not an issue, but if you're using an IDE to edit Javascript it seems like overkill to me, specifically because you aren't using the features that slow it down.

I'm sure people can be just as efficient editing JS in Eclipse/Idea/whatever, it's all preference, I just have a bad taste in my mouth from how slow IDEs can be from editing complex languages. If you don't notice any slowness with javascript, then by all means, use it as your main tool.

[Mark Hahn]

All you need is a fast computer and any IDE's behavior is instantaneous.  Also you can turn off any features that bother you.

The jetbrains IDE has a ton of features for javascript that I couldn't live without.  I turn off about 3/4 of the overall features, not because of speed, but just because I find them more of a bother than an asset.  Like you, I don't like little menus popping up all over the place.

For many years there has been a clear split between people who like IDEs and those that like text-editors like vim.  This is a personal preference and there are no valid non-opinionated arguments like speed or features for either one.  Although I have seen many posts that claim one is better than the other, it just isn't true.

[Jake Verbaten]

There's plenty of valid memory use arguments. If I'm on a netbook i will use vim and I will not use an IDE.

> "all you need is a fast computer"

Sometimes I like coding on the train.

However you are correct, on a work machine you should IDEs and text editors should be a personal choice decision.

[Andy]

You're right, and I didn't mean to sound so opinionated. If I could edit posts (which I tried to do with my first one but realized I couldn't) then I would rephrase what I said. I PREFER vim.

I am curious though, what is an editing feature that you couldn't live without in your ide for javascript?

[Mark Hahn]

>  Sometimes I like coding on the train.

I think you over-estimate how much power a computer needs to run an IDE.  They run fine on my laptop that is about three years old.

>  what is an editing feature that you couldn't live without in your ide for javascript 

I don't know vim, so let me know which ones of these vim supports.  In no order ...

1) Syntax checking.  It instantly puts a wavy red underline where the error occurs and hovering gives the syntax error.  An indicator at the top of the document is green when no syntax errors and red when there is one.

2) Showing changes in-place from the last git commit.  I love how you can see what you've changed and in one click revert only the change to which you are pointing.

3) Debugging of course.

4) Full scp integration.  Whenever I save any changes the development server is updated instantly. 

5) Multi-column editing.  If you make a vertical selection then you can type or cut/paste and all lines have the same result.  I use this constantly.

6) Drag and drop editing (mouse orientation instead of keyboard commands).

I have probably missed a few.  I don't think much about features until I'm on a different editor and they are missing.

[Mark Hahn]

A few more ...

7)  The current scroll position and text selection is preserved when a document is saved/loaded.  I hate when an editor loads a file at the beginning which is almost never the place I want to be.

8) A small picker that I can place links to my most-used files.   I leave the picker open. One mouse click and the file comes up.  Of course this is saved by project.

9) The window scrollbar has several differents indicators that can be clicked on for quick navigation.  Git changes are noted in three colors.  One for new text, one for changed, and one for deleted.  The is an indicator for every bookmark.

10) The find results are nice.  Every matching text is highlighted at once.  There is an indicator for the find results in the right scroll bar also.  In general I navigate around with single clicks in the scroll bar and I rarely have to scroll.

[Joshua Kehn]

Sounds like you're a mouse-oriented developer who would be best served by a full blown IDE.

I can boot into a shell and write code in vim (for what feels like) forever. I never get more then 3-4hrs when I have everything under OS X running.

I have been since the mouse was invented.  I suspect that the main dividing line between IDE users and text-based editor users is the preference of mouse usage versus typing.  It vaguely reminds me of the old Mac versus DOS arguments.

I am very surprised that you see more power burned by one editing app over another.  I can see video burning more juice but I would have thought that an IDE would have an idle cpu 99% of the time.

[Joshua Kehn]

It's not just the IDE, it's booting the entire OS that sucks the power. If I'm on a 7hr train ride I'll futz around in the shell the entire time without starting the whole GUI system.

–Josh

As expected this has become an interesting discussion.

I really like text editors for their simplicity and a lot of features of modern text editors (TextMate, gEdit, Sublime Text) mimic those of IDEs. For example the "project view" or "quick open / search". I'm not familiar with Vim / Emacs perhaps they support these features as well.

As mentioned earlier, JetBrains IDE features can be toggled on / off depending on your need. My IDE is extremely responsive. Of course as a developer, you have to make a one-time time investment configuring it to your needs.

A lot of devs, me included, had their IDE experience corrupted by Eclipse and its buggy plugins. JetBrains IntelliJ IDEA and others (WebStorm, PHPStorm, PyCharms etc.) is nothing like that. I *strongly* recommend giving it a try. (I am not a JetBrains employee!)

One feature I cannot live without is the refactoring support that IDEA brings. It clearly helps improving code quality while almost completely eliminating the risk of your code breaking.

Version control integration is pretty cool. Nothing like viewing changes, diffs, history and yes even selection history (view history for a bunch of selected lines with IntelliJ IDEA). All of these extremely useful when working with largish teams.

Of course one can always use Meld from the command line. And I completely understand that this is a matter of personal preference of an individual dev.

[Yevgeniy Viktorov]

All of those and much more, except mouse oriented, but vim does it better ;)

Also, I saw many pissing developers because multi-column editing was added to certain IDEs while vimmers had it from the ground!

And I'm afraid you will never have such freedom and flexibility with your IDE like vim or even emacs has.

[Yevgeniy Viktorov]

+1 for Vim for everything

[Andy]

One distinction to make before I go on is that I'm using MacVim, not VIM in a terminal. MacVim makes editing in OSX a much more pleasant experience. Windows users can use gVim.

In the interest of comparison for Javascript editing, VIM has most of those things, but they are available as plugins. This is a possible critique of VIM but it is absolutely by design. VIM isn't designed to edit any specific language (except maybe C? eg `set cindent`), so it is enormously extensible. It will take a while to get a setup that you are happy with, and get comfortable moving around, which is a definite barrier.

Definitely has:

1) Syntax checking - Check, most popular plugin is currently JSHint
2) See git changes per line - Check, with the awesome VIM Fugitive. Type / map :Gdiff and get a split with all the changes, and move around as desired
4) scp integration - Not only is VIM on the server, but you can edit remote files like any other file
5) Multi-column editing - Ctrl-Q, and you will eventually find faster ways to do it, like applying a command to a range of lines
6) Drag and drop editing - I think most (all?) major editors have this. Note: this is specific to gvim / macvim
7) Preserve cursor position - Doable with VIM sessions, but who ever closes VIM? ;)
10) The find results are nice - They are equally as nice in VIM, "/" is my bestie

Maybe doesn't have:

3) Debugging - I have never debugged Javascript / node in VIM, but I doubt I would need more power than node-inspector offers.
8) A "most used files" picker - There is probably a plugin to do something equivalent, but I don't need much outside of command-t / most recently used files plugin
9) Indicators on the scrollbar - As far as I know, the actual GUI of VIM isn't very extensible. There may be a similar workflow, like Fugitive + mappings to jump around.


The other commonly cited reason to use VIM is that you should be super comfortable in your editor and use it for as much as possible. Would you write an email in your IDE? I write most of mine in VIM. I'm writing this post in VIM because I feel stupid without the modal editing. Would you write a Google Groups reply in your IDE, because you can edit much faster than in a textarea?

I guess I would encourage everyone to at least try VIM. I've tried Idea, Sublime Text 2, and Emacs for editing Javascript but did not prefer them enough to switch.

[Mark Hahn]

It appears that vim at its best and IDEs (actually gui text editors) at their best have pretty much the same features.  So it all boils down to preferences, and probably more specifically mouse vs. keyboard preferences.

> Would you write an email in your IDE? 

One click and I'm in gmail which has an identical text editor including drag-drop features etc.  Us mousers like the fact that a gui os has identical text editing in most apps.

Does VIM organize conversations like gmail does?  (I'm not really asking.  These feature comparisons can go on forever.)

[Yevgeniy Viktorov]

FYI: gmail has vim like navigation key binding, type "?" to see ;)

[Joshua Kehn]

I would love a email client with vim bindings.

it's a more high-level package with some code completion, snippets and

over the Christmas holidays to improve it, especially the code
completion stuff, and would love to hear suggestions for ideas.

Also check out https://github.com/Kronuz/SublimeCodeIntel - I'm aware
it has some bugs with JavaScript at the moment, and I'm helping the
developer try fix these issues to improve Sublime as a more general
IDE for JavaScript development with node.

A while ago a little pet project of mine was to make a VI emulator in
the browser (GWT back then). Don't find know how many commands vim
has, but figured, if I implemented one per day, I wasn't going to
finish in my lifetime. However, with 50-100 commands you got aprox.
99% of all needs covered. As many pet projects unnoticed it slowly
faded out of interest at some point.

But I've been spoiled by Sublime Text. I use ST for everyday stuff but

And I rediscovered vi recently and I use it for quick small edits from

Don't use Gvim. I also use vim in the terminal (remotely) and I belive
having a window with vim inside and a couple of menus accessible with
the
mouse looks a bit stupid. It's slower and people used to vim and vim
commands will probably not use it.

I have been waiting for cloud9 to mature for most of the year.  Every few months I try to use it and have run into some problem. 

I would really like to switch totally to the cloud.  I'd give up my desktop and laptop in a heartbeat to be able to just live on a browser like on chrome os.  I've been working on computers for 45 years and I've hated them the whole time.  I'd love to not have a computer.

Have you seen this http://eclim.org/ ?

Eclim lets you edit with Vim inside Eclipse, or use Eclipse's functions
within Vim. Of course, you'd have to run Eclipse either as headless
server, or in full, but at least you'd get the best of both worlds.

Frankly, I never needed this, but if you ever need a full IDE, and find
it hard to give up on Vim, maybe give this a spin? :)

I started using webstorm a few months ago and I love it.  Each of the last three or four IDEs I used before that had at least one thing that drove me crazy.  I haven't found anything yet in webstorm.  It is especially good for coffeescript.

[Andy]

Yeah, I've used eclim. God how I hate it. It slows down VIm so much, which is one of the reasons I don't like IDEs in general

[dale tan]

i've used a bunch of editors over the years.

My main one was textmate for a while, and then coda and then back to textmate.  then i was introduced to intellijIDEA and then webstorm.  I like intellij b/c it has a lot of support for a wide amount of code highlighting (java, velocity, freemarker, css, html, js, etc) where as webstorm is more just html, css, and js.  I've been using vim for a while mainly when i ssh'ed into a machine, then I started to learn more about macvim with nerdtree as the main plugin and a few others i can't think of at the moment (a lot from tpope on github).  I've been using that more for my freelance work over textmate.  i love the keyboard shortcuts with macvim, however, it does take time to learn them in order to be proficient with it.  There is a great site to help with that though: http://vimcasts.org/

The code completion is great with webstorm, but sometimes it lags to a ridiculous crawl that is frustrating.  This could also be b/c i have a crap ton of programs opened at once, but i've never actually tried to figure that out.  

One reason why i am moving away from textmate is b/c of how much memory v1.x uses up.  I know v2 just came out, but i feel like it might be too little too late.

One i forgot to mention, but others have, is sublime text 2.  I use that a little bit, but not as a primary IDE.  It seems to have a much smaller memory usage than textmate so i'll fire that up occasionally for a few things.  One of which is searching files; I can't seem to figure that out with macvim.  when I have files or folders i want to search, i use sublime text 2.  It just seems a lot quicker than textmate does and easier than macvim.

So to summarize, i basically use these IDEs:

webstorm for work work

macvim for freelance/side projects + sublime text 2 for searching (once i figure it out with macvim, i will probably drop using sublime text 2)

i'm sure i've used some other ones that i'm forgetting now, but those are the ones that i have stuck with in recent memory.

Ha, didn't know about the slow-down. Anyway, yeah, I'm with you when it
comes to hating IDEs. :)

Folks,

Webstorm  and intelliJIdea has only 30 day trial version..is not there  free version available for Windows??

Thanks
Pushpinder

[Mark Hahn]

No free version.  I got webstorm for $35 but that deal may be over.

[Srirangan]

JetBrains (the company which makes IntelliJ IDEA and WebStorm) generously supports open source project. If you're part of an established open source project, contact them and they'll give you free one year licenses.

Beware that Idea can get a bit funny with large codebases. It's the
development environment I use at work, and I've had to wrestle with it
a lot to get it to not spend most of its time showing me a beachball
(OS X here). Idea can't statically analyze the javascript code to the
degree it's used to, it spends a lot of extra time doing dynamic
evaluation of your codebase. We're building a grails-based browser app
that's importing YUI 3.4.1, and it spends most of its time spinning on
various minified files and extraneous nonsense.

However, that's not to say that it's not a very decent JS editor. If
you start running into slowdown problems, go to Preferences -> Editor -
> Code Completion and change the "Autopopup code completion in (ms):"
value from 0 to 500 or 1000. You as a user won't notice the
difference, but it won't try to rebuild your code completion table
every time you type a new character, making your user experience way
better.

Sorry to thread-jack a little here: What's indentation like in
vim-javascript? And is it this one?

http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=2765

I've tried so many that I can't even remember which one I'm using now.
It gives me decent result, but it can get confused some times (like when
using brackets inside strings, it thinks it needs to indent next line to
that location), so I'm wondering what kind of result you get from
vim-javascript.

sublime text 2 for sure. So glad to FINALLY have a really nice + fairly lightweight cross platform editor. My biggest complaint for a while was no good javascript formatting, but  https://github.com/jdc0589/jsformat is decent now. 

[thang chung]

This is really nice editor. Thanks Glenn!
