I've been a professional web developer for 18 years, and I've tried just about every editor and IDE out there for the Mac, and trust me when I say that for sheer power and functionality, nothing else even comes close. Syntax highlighting and autocompletion for *everything*: tags, attributes, classes, IDs, filenames/paths, just about every thing you type, and in just about every dev language known to mankind. Optional file watchers for compiling preprocessor languages like HAML, Sass/Less, CoffeeScript, etc. into final HTML/CSS/JavaScript code. Powerful code refactoring: change a filename, function name, variable, class or ID throughout your project. Select just about any identifier, and it highlights every other instance; it also highlights mistyped or invalid identifiers, validates in near real time, graphically shows the scope of every nested element, matches opening/closing tags and braces… if you pay attention to all the hints it gives you, it's nearly impossible to write wrong code. There is still some room for improvement: the project file browser is pretty rudimentary (doesn't show timestamps or file sizes, D'OH!), and the built-in FTP is sometimes a little flakey, but in whole, it's a pretty amazing tool for the web development professional.

Unfortunately, there's a bug in the Oracle JDK (both 7 and 8) that causes fonts to look terrible. JetBrains is doing what they can to fix this by providing an installation option with a custom JDK, but whatever hack they've put in place to fix the font issue causes CPU to spike and scrolling to be choppy when you try to scroll. I'd like to be able to use this editor, but decently rendered fonts are pretty important when you're staring at code all day. What's most unfortunate is that this editor is built on Java, so their hands are kind of tied. You can track this issue here: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-138687
