I’m an old Emacs user – I’ve used it for about 10years now. When I switched to Mac I started to use Aquamacs, which is great in many ways.

But now most my development work involves Node.js/Express.js (with JavaScript, Jade and Stylus). Unfortunately, emacs has many shortcomings in this regard. Especially when working remotely, with ExpanDrive and MacFUSE mounts.

And I really want real code folding.

Is there any editor which is really good for this? Even better is there any IDE for Mac (at all)?

Thanks

    A cheaper and more node-specific alternative to IntelliJ IDEA is Webstorm, also made by Jetbrains.

    It has a lot of node goodies like the ability to attach to the node debugger and allow you to step through your JS code. It also has good code folding, which you can invoke with ⌘^- to fold and ⌘^+ to expand.
