EDIT This answer was written for the original question title"Which IDE is better for Meteor JS? ".

This is by design a subjective question requesting a subjective answer. Here is one from my experience.

The best editor I found so far is Atom, free, open-source, very customizable, and lots of very good plugins. And it is getting better everyday.

If you plan to give it a try, I would suggest to install at least the following plugins:

  • minimap
  • atom-bootstrap if you use bootstrap with meteor (snippets + autocompletion)
  • linter for code validation
  • merge-conflicts if you use git and sometimes have to deal with merging issues
  • meteor-API for meteor autocompletion
  • meteor helper for start/stop the server from atom
  • meteor-snippets (I love this one) so you can create snippets easily, (i.e. is you type "temp" and enter, it generates all the base code (helpers & event) for a template.

If you look for the auto-indent function, there is a built-in one. You can add it a shortcut in your keymap by pasting this in it because by default there is none:

'.editor':
  'alt-a': 'editor:auto-indent'

I hope it helps.

ps: if someone has plugins suggestions, they are welcome

As you know, Meteor is all Javascript. There is good javscript IDE called Jetbrains Webstorm which has good support for Meteor

I highly recommend it
