So... if someone is watching this, could they tell me if this page needs some kind of "page looks merely to be a commercial or FOSS product list" warning.


Also what about the Amy Editor ? It appears to be a powerful editor, but is it based on one of the engines listed? Is it free or a commercial project? Should it be listed here? 80.200.132.241 (talk) 07:39, 4 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Google Web Toolkit

I haven't had time to look fully into it, but should [[1]] be here? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 119.225.18.78 (talk) 05:34, 24 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Google Web Toolkit includes is a SDK including a Java Framework generating some JavaScript code. It is not written in JavaScript, nor the Eclipse plugin it provides (written in Java) (Alexandre.Morgaut (talk) 14:17, 28 February 2012 (UTC))[reply]

Move to delete this whole article

Why do we need an article comparing javascript editors? If we allow this article then whats next? Wheet-a-bix vs Cornflakes? This page feels like a blog entry not an Encyclopedia. It also opens so many doors for businesses to push their wares. Its free advertising for them. This is against the wikipedia guidelines. Also is there some sort of guideline against comparison pages? I move for a deletion of this page.--Stewartm82 (talk) 14:11, 27 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

TODO: Other aspects

  • Add Amy Editor (see also embedded version) http://www.amyeditor.com/
  • How much code is contained in each editor? (kB that must be downloaded whenever the editor is downloaded)
  • What size files do these editors handle best
  • Dependencies: Certain JavaScript library? How many files does it require? When compressed, what is the minimum download size in kilobytes?
  • Tabbed editing?
  • Javascript architecture (prototype, functional, or closure-based)
  • How responsive is each library (with and without a large file loaded)? (Not sure how to measure this yet.)
  • How long is the delay before syntax-highlighting occurs on new text?
  • How each library handles whitespaces? spaces, tabs or both?

Extensibility features

  • Feature plugins
  • Interface languages (English, French, etc.)
  • Syntax highlighting plugins
  • Bracket completion plugins
  • Language snippet plugins
  • Code suggestion plugins

Ace Editor coverage

Please extened List of features to feature Ace as it has officially supplanted Mozilla Bespin/Skywriter. It's worthy consideration to replace reference to Skywriter by Ace in the List of features and mention the Skywriter->Ace shift. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.212.37.129 (talk) 06:56, 8 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
