Category: Survey
<
>p
>We have been doing various surveys with Richard Monson-Haefel and the Burton Group. We just did one on
frameworks that the community uses.
This time around, we want to see what IDEs and tools people are using. To make sure that we have the right tools on the list, we first wanted to ask for feedback on the core list itself. If you see an omission, leave a comment, and we will get the survey ready shortly.
- Dreamweaver
- Standard Eclipse (JST, WST, or ATF)
- MyEclipse
- CFEclipse
- Zend IDE
- Aptana IDE
- JSEclipse
- WebSphere/Rational AD
- IntelliJ
- Visual Studio
- MS Expression Web
- Morphik AppsBuilder
- PrimalScript
- Textmate
- GoLive
- Textpad
- BBEdit
- Komodo IDE
- EditPlus
- Vi
- Emacs
- jEdit
- Notepad
- HomeSite
- Ultraedit
- SlickEdit
- MyEclipse does Ajax
MyEclipse 5.0, the IDE from Genuitec LLC., covers all the bases for developers, including Ajax capability. "This release is an enterprise Java,...
- Here comes Ajax on Rails
Moving toward a convergence of Ajax development with Ruby on Rails, Aptana Inc. is including the Ruby Development Team project in its IDE for Ajax...
- Ajax hype vs. reality
Ajax is a powerful rich Internet application technology, but Burton Group cautions against overkill and notes that tools and frameworks for using it...

You might want to include PHPEclipse and PDT Project.
Editors I’m missing are Intype (http://www.intype.info), E-TextEditor (http://www.e-texteditor.com), Coda (http://www.panic.com/coda) and Notepad++ (http://notepad-plus.sourceforge.net). Maybe more editors will come in mind, but these are the ones I’m missing for now. :)
PSPad and EditPad are two more that I use. I wonder how relevant Nvu is to this survey. It’s a good tool for really quick and dirty prototyping if you’re on a budget.
Does anyone uses Vi for ajax development??
We use Vim 7.0 here, with appropriate macros, completition etc… Since it’s highly configurable, it can do refactoring even in loosely typed languages like javascript, where the usual IDEs fail to do such.
Will I be correct in thinking that Vi will accommodate all vi/vim/elvis/nvi users out there?
Komodo Edit (striped down free as in beer variant of Komodo, more an editor than an IDE)
Quanta Plus
on mac os x:
TextWrangler (the small brother of BBEdit)
SubEthaEdit
I use gedit from time to time.
You might want to include Nvu, it’s an IDE basically for Linux, there are versions for windows and mac too.
I still dont have clear ideas about an EDITOR/IDE, so:
on LINIX:
- gedit
- vim (if I cant use gnome)
on MAC:
- trying CODA (Panic http://www.panic.com/coda/)
- trying APTANA
- vim
on PC:
- Notepad2 (http://www.flos-freeware.ch/notepad2.html)
- trying VisualStudio 2005 (with VS.php http://www.jcxsoftware.com/vs.php)
- trying Rapid PHP (http://www.blumentals.net/rapidphp/)
:)
I use rainbow9 (http://rainbow9.org) and gedit..
EditPad pro
Spket IDE – http://www.spket.com
nano on linux
SciTE – http://scintilla.org/ for quicky things
Don’t forget Notepad++
http://notepad-plus.sourceforge.net/uk/site.htm
How about Programmers Notedpad. I quite like it.
Smultron. Gotta love it. ^_^
Coda isnt too shabby either I hear ;)
oops. made a spelling mistake, it’s Programmers Notepad.
While I’m hear I like to put in a word for HTML-Kit. It’s a nifty program which can be expanded for other languages.
I second Gedit. It’s my editor of choice.
With plugins enabled it’s quite comprable to textmate in linux.
I would include NetBeans 6, as a lot of Rails programmers are using it nowadays.
I use WeBuilder. http://www.blumentals.net/webuilder/
It picked up where Homesite stopped. (Favorite for years.) I use TopStyle sometimes too.
HTML-Kit
I use xcode – it’s actually really nice for javascript development – out of the box it does code completion and syntax highlighting (just like the others) and you can customize and configure it to do even more…for example, I use it to “build” a dojo release.
Notepad++ on Windows and TextWrangler on OSX. I tried TextMate and it turns out to be a pretty mediocre text editor, suprising considering all the hype. Coda is neat too, but both fall well short of my needs.
I need a Notepad++ port for OSX :(
I use Zend Studio for projects, but Notepad++ for the quick and dirty.
TIBCO GI. AFAICT, its the only complete IDE that runs *in the browser*, ie, eats its own dogfood.
TSW WebCoder 2007 is my favorite. It does very well for PHP, CSS and Javascript, and is very configurable. The creator is working on a more PHP-centric version as well which he will call “TSW phpCoder 2008″.
http://www.tsware.net
I use Visual Studio 2005. I didn’t see Delphi for PHP on the list
I also say Notepad++ http://notepad-plus.sourceforge.net
Always the newest version of Visual Studio for any technologies that it natively supports, E-TextEditor for almost everything else, SciTE for small jobs since its much lighter weight than both E and Visual Studio. TextMate or VIM when I’m on OS X. For some reason, I never got into TextMate as much as I’ve gotten into E (even though E is a Windows clone of TextMate). E’s visual undo history system is spectacular though, I don’t know how I could live without it.
I avoid Eclipse variants or any other Java-based IDE because they are too resource hungry.
Where’s PhpED? It’s hands down the best IDE I’ve worked with, I can’t imagine Ajax programming with a PHP backend without it. (Php command line anyone?)
JBoss Developer Studio
I just have to follow about the e-texteditor. It’s frightening, I’m a hardcore mac user since some time, but ‘e’ is so good that I feel no shame booting up a WinXP VM everytime just to use it. It’s that good, honestly.
PHPEdit. Commercial, not particularly attractive, but the fastest of the great PHP editors.
Technically most of that list really isn’t “integrated development environments”, or…?
I mean Notepad…?
Fact is from a “pure” point of view even Dreamweaver isn’t a true IDE…!
Thomas Hansen – http://ajaxwidgets.com – No JavaScript Ajax Library (YES, TRULY)
Tools – only JEdit (god bless it). Notepad++ somehow always messes encodings
IDEs – only Eclipse (and only for server side). Btw, is it a blasphemy if I mention FlashDevelop here? I know it’s not Ajax, but at least it handles asynchronous xml data flow managed by sort of Ecma script language… And it does it really well.
Spket!
Dreamweaver.
Notepad++.
Another vote for Webuilder – superb piece of software: http://www.blumentals.net/webuilder/
textmate
It’s old but don’t forget arachnophilia.
Leopards Dashcode is a good editor.
emacs
Can’t forget ConTEXT
Aptana Studio 1.0+
Notepad++
Aptana
Dreamweaver :)
