Recommendations for Javascript Editor on Windows? [closed]


I know jsight already mentioned this, but Aptana Studio really is a great, free editor for JavaScript if you find yourself doing a lot of work with it - it has great support for most of the well-known libraries. If it were not for the fact that I work with C# in addition to JavaScript, I would use Aptana for all of my work.


I use NotePad++ and am happy (of course, that is when I am not using Visual Studio).

NotePad++ contains support for intellisense type feature as well.

Netbeans

I've tried out all of the above and my vote goes for Netbeans, which has been mentioned. However the answer didn't really sell you on the features which you can find here.

It has:

  • Intellisense including jQuery built in
  • Extended (Eclipse-style) documentation for functions
  • Function and field outlining
  • Code folding
  • Refactoring

It makes Visual Studio 2010's Javascript support look very primitive.
