Comparison of Javascript-based source code editors

Comparison of Javascript-based source code editors

This article provides basic feature comparison between some of the JavaScript-based source code editors available today. This article is not all-inclusive or necessarily up-to-date.

Overview

List of features

Feature testing was performed with Firefox 3.0.3 against the current demo version, and results may not match those in other browsers or downloadable versions.

TODO: Other aspects

* What size files do these editors handle best
* How many dependencies (files) does each require? When compressed, what is the minimum download size in kilobytes?
* Tabbed editing?
* "Fast" mode, without syntax highlighting?
* 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?

Language features

* Syntax highlighting (None, pattern, or full parser)
* Snippet support
* Text folding
* Customizable key bindings
