Poll: What tools do you use?

Hello C.L.J.,

What I'm curious is, when you are developing javascript, what
tools/editors/IDEs do you use? Or are you the kind of person that uses
"whatever gets the job done" type?

Here are some things that I've seen people use to do javascript:
MS Frontpage, Macromedia Dreamweaver, notepad, various kinds of text
editors, Eclipse, and Visual Studio.

This should be an interesting poll. :)

re: Poll: What tools do you use?

vi. or notepad on Windows.

UltraEdit as a plaintext editor, then debug in Opera or Firefox.

It's not as convenient as a good C/C++ environment.

EmEditor, but simply because it is my favourite text editor at the
moment (able to save to different Unicode encodings for example).

And Firefox+js debugger+misc extensions.

re: Poll: What tools do you use?

Bump for Ultraedit.
A great tool for all languages, I currently use it for HTML,
Javascript, TCL and SQL

Hello C.L.J.,

Wow, I'm amazed at the variety of tools being used for developing
javascript. But mainly, they seem to fit into text editor categories.
I would really appreciate seeing more responses. :) Personally, I use
notepad on windows, vi and Bluefish Editor on linux.

Just learning JavaScript, I use the Snippet Editor and the JavaScript
Console from the Debug menu of Safari to test unfamiliar concepts.
TextWrangler for editing. TextWrangler has both HTML and JS syntax
highlighting.

re: Poll: What tools do you use?

:) I know there are a lot more of you out there. So come on in and
make a post. I'm really interested to know what tools you javascript
developers are using.

re: Poll: What tools do you use?

Emacs on Windows and Linux and AIX and MacOS X.
javascript-generic-mode. I am definitely the kind of person that uses
"whatever gets the job done". Of course, Emacs is the only I ever find
gets the job done. :-)

If I'm out to do just a javascript/html thing, then on windows its
UltraEdit, or vi on Mac or *nix.

If t's something that'll take more than 10 minutes and has PHP in the
midst of it all, I'd likely just do it in Zend Studio.

For debugging, I use mostly the Mozilla/Firefox (depending on what is
already installed) debugger. Eventually, I'll see if Safari or opera
have something like that as well.

re: Poll: What tools do you use?

I use Eclipse for editing/source controlling(cvs). 'outline' view
shows list of functions and variables, but since I mostly use anonymous
functions, it doesn't tell me much.
and use 'javascript console' for debugging and 'venkman' for last
phase optimization.

re: Poll: What tools do you use?

Dreamweaver MX 2004!!

Go ahead, laugh it up. :-)

re: Poll: What tools do you use?

It really depends on the complexity of the application, and the purpose
that it will serve.

If I am doing small code snippets that are controlling a lot of UI
stuff via CSS I like to use TopStyle since I have can have code
snippets saved on my toolbar and a customizable editor. I also like it
because clicking on an external link, css, js or whatever opens the
file in a new tab.

If I am doing anything more serious I like to use Komodo, I can have
macros and lots of other goodies. The whole environment is built with
XUL/JS with Python helping out. So the whole IDE is scriptable with
either Python and Javascript!!! Code syntax highlighting, code folding,
object browsers, project management you name it, it has it. Debuging
Python/Perl/PHP within the console also save huge time!

re: Poll: What tools do you use?

Eclipse for source control
Crimson Editor for Editing
Microsft Script Editor 7 (that comes with Microsoft Office 2003) for
debugging. I love it. It does everything needed (breakpoints, powerfull
DOM browsing, step by step execution, easy integration with ie (just
type "debugger" in your code and then execution is paused there and
mse7.exe is launched)
