• Not good for more obscure JavaScript creation

  RonBernieFebruary 23, 2013

  Pros

  Easy to use, easy to type, run, and debug JavaScript code.

  Cons

  It can't handle some of the more technical aspects of JavaScript. For example, in the Regular Expressions, the editor can't handle var colorText = "red,blue,green,yellow"; var colors3 = colorText.split(/[^,]+/); alert(colors3); but Dragonfly can. Similarly, the Free JavaScript Editor can't handle the "this" keyword, as in var say1 = "Level 1"; var myfunc = function(){ var say2 = "Level 2"; alert(this.say1);} myfunc();

  Summary

  The Free JavaScript editor, while easy to use, is a poor learning or development tool for the more advanced features of JavaScript. I would not trust it without checking on another JavaScript development tool, such as Opera's Dragonfly, so why bother with the Free JavaScript editor in the first place?

• Encourages Good JavaScript Programming Practices

  adesigninteractiveApril 21, 2010

  Pros

  Better coding by validation, and example. Free JavaScript Editor, by Yaldex, integrates a local version of JSLint such that the user might learn to improve javascript coding practices. It's a great tool, at no cost.

  Cons

  NAME GAME: If abbreviated as "FJSE", the bells-n-whistles shareware edition "First JavaScript Editor", is easily confused with "Free JavaScript Editor". Be careful not to confuse the "Free" with the "First", both by Yaldex. Confusing name convention

  Summary

  One might question: Why a so-called "JavaScript Editor", when it would seem that most any editor would make a fine "javascript" editor? I asked myself the same question-- an intriguing question, and likely why many users have tried it. The answer; what I believe separates FJSE from other text editors is its inclusion of an advanced JS Debugger, and the introduction of JSLint, a free js app available at jslint.com. Yaldex "Free JavaScript Editor" (as well as the oft confused, "First JavaScript Editor", a shareware by the same developer) integrates a local version of JSLint such that the user might learn to improve javascript coding practices. It's a great tool, at no cost.
