Good IDE for node.js + coffeescript + jasmine [closed]

What good IDEs are there to develop with the combination of Jasmine, node.js and coffeescript.

So far, we're considering WebStorm, but it is really hard to get started. We find very little documentation on node.js (and coffeescript) in combination with the IDE.

What other options are there? (And are there any guides that can help us get started/up and running?)

edit:

  • Me and my team are running Windows/OSX.
  • Vim/Emacs is not an option. We need something with a graphical interface/an IDE.
  • It must be easy to "get started" with node.js and coffee in the IDE. Preferably somewhat "tailored" for use with node.js.
    • WebStorm promises to do just that, however, getting started turns out to be pretty difficult. Running .coffee doesn't seem to work.

Thanks :)

Komodo Edit (free to use) and Komodo IDE (requires paid license) support syntax highlighting for JavaScript and CoffeeScript. I believe call hints for node.js are provided.

I can vouch for KomodoEdit as a good IDE in general; I've been using it in Python and PHP projects with satisfaction.

Be sure to start with the 7.0 release candidate; it's been RC for quite a while, and you could miss it if you start from the Komodo Edit home page. 6.0 is probably before CoffeeScript became popular.
