Yeah I've never really gotten the minimalist approach. Why would you not want to have your editor help you? Visual Studio's Intellisense for .NET is pretty amazing, and the HTML/CSS features are getting pretty fantastic as well. The JS editing unfortunately is not there yet, although there really isn't any editor that does a good job with that. I think that will change with the advent of EcmaScript 6 and cleaner type definitions I hope.

>>Yes I used it a long time ago - and it was pretty bad :-) At the time it the only IDE that supported a decent way to visualize JavaScript and provide a little bit of Intellisense. It was also incredibly slow and felt funky because of hte obvious Java based interface. Haven't looked at it lately tho...

>>I just go by what people that present on JavaScript use - and for those folks its Sublime or WebStorm mostly.
