Linux IDEs for web development
-
I'm a very big fan of VIM/GVIM and my .vimrc file has been quite heavily customized to suit my programming needs. However, there comes the time when you need a good IDE as much as the need for a lightweight [primarily] text editor.
- Eclipse bites (sorry Rama, I tried the latest and it still sucks) YMMV.
- Aptana is Eclipse in a banana skin (as opposed to a wolf in a sheep's skin...)
- Netbeans 6.8 is actually quite decent, though, and this is by feel only with no concrete data, feels sluggish at times.
- Geany is just a glorified text editor.
- gedit/gPHPedit is not bad, VIM is better though.
- I'm liking the beta of Jetbrains Webstorm[^]. Quite a nice IDE and so far my favorite on Linux (but its Java and platform independent but quite good actually)
If you can offer some more suggestions, I'd be very grateful.

I'm a fan of ActiveState Komodo. The full IDE costs money but there's a version called Komodo Edit which is free and has been more than sufficient for my needs.
I actually downloaded it earlier and fired it up but still haven't put it through its paces. I'll do so tonight

For fear of misunderstanding the question, I'm giving you two answers. 1. My work is a combination of Javascript, Java, C++, Cython and PHP. Javascript is the only one that I know of that can be developed on VS. 2. VS doesn't run on Linux unless under a VM or WINE

NICE! Now that's something I can sink my teeth into! I'll look at today and report back what I find. Thanks Nermanja :)

If editors will suffice, take a look at UltraEdit for Linux[^].

I had that placed last because I'd have to pay for it. UE is possibly the best editor (after VIM) in existence. غير هيك , شو؟ وينك غاطس ما حدا شايفك؟ كيف أخبارك يا معلم؟ :)

Was never a VIM fan. I've been using UE for almost a decade now. .مش عم زور كود بروجكت إكتير هل ايام. أنا على فيسبوك دايماً :)

Aptana was the only IDE for a long time where JavaScript Intellisense actually worked correctly. It can recognize Prototype, ExtJs and jQuery. I used Aptana on windows to some extent to write JavaScript code even though I had VS 2008.

...you can develop for PHP in Visual Studio with VS.PHP[^] ...why use Java at all if you can get .Net goodness with Mono? :) ...never heard of Cython...Python derivative? ...Grasshopper[^] seems to let you develop for Java for Linux in Visual Studio
Well, I'm not too sure about VS.PHP and I don't know of a single commercial grade application that's been written in Mono; till then its still amateur stuff as far as work is concerned. Cython is THE standard Python dialect :) Grasshopper. We tried it a few years back and it wasn't so hot. Frankly, cross compiling like that is akin to a cross-dresser, crossing back to "normal" by wearing their clothes backwards and upside down. Cannot be comfortable. I'd rather code it directly. But thanks in every case :)

I may have read it, but it's been a while since I came here regularly. UMBC stands for U Must Be Crazy, and I was. :)

I agree, I still use Aptana today for (X)HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Once I get the UI laid out, I port it over to Visual Studio. Of course, the real power of Aptana does not come from Aptana itself, but the Zen Coding plug-in[^]. If you can find it for your IDE, not THAT is what I HIGHLY recommend...
