It would be a better OO Javascript World. What do you think?
I personally use notepad when using my FTP or more often my cpanel light text editor. I haven't had too many issues thus far and have certainly never thought "if only this was easier, or I had some annoying code completion popping up and forcing me to use three arrows and an enter key to accept that one instead of just writing out the last 3 letters of this function."
And aswell as klr, I think this sounds trolly, but really, the time taken to download, install and learn an IDE could just be spent improving the code in notepad instead.
Eclipse & VS suck with JS. There is also Dart Editor which Google is building for their new language. I think they are aiming to what you currently can do in Eclipse with GWT's Java code.
And it seems to me that for the way web application are moving toward client-side, the bulk of the code will be on javascript in the future or a greater chunk of it.
What I liked about Eclipse&java is of course code completion (for the logWordsJavaUsesForClassesAndPackage) but most of all the order it brings to all of that comlpexity (classes, packages, enums, the use of different patterns ecc).
if think the more we go toward a complexification (does it exists in english ;P) of javascript projects, the more we are going to need something that bring order in the chaos.
Otherwise we will be a bit overwhelmed by the code of a language not born to do what we are using it for today.
