Eclipse with JSDT vs Chocolat

Eclipse with JSDT provides you with quick fixes every time a warning or error is raised by the IDE. This feature is particularly helpful at places in code where errors were caused by the programmer just being a little "lazy", such as missing out the + sign between two operands or a variable being out of scope.

Just like all other IDEs, Eclipse offers you inline code completion (even with any external JS libraries added to the project).

Eclipse runs on Windows, Linux and Mac, and is totally free of cost.

Eclipse's refactoring features are quite similar to Webstorm's. It provides almost the same functionalities which include renaming, moving, and member extraction to make your code tidier

This feature is particularly useful when you've added a lot of nesting in your code and you're unable to recall which opening bracket corresponds to which closing one.

Eclipse has a large and active community, which has resulted in a wide variety of plugins.

Thanks to the large variety of plugins and various configuration options available, Eclipse is very customizable.

Eclipse lets you integrate web servers (like Apache or Jetty) into the IDE, which you could use for in-container testing or providing services.

Pulling, pushing, staging, stashing, etc., are all available in Eclipse as IDE functionalities.

Chocolat offers integrated web-based documentation, so you can quickly look up anything you might need clarification on.

Chocolat allows you to view as many files side-by-side as you'd like, rather than limiting you to two.

Chocolat supports live error checking.

The native Mac looks awesome.

Themes can be tweaked in various ways, such as in terms of font-size, colors, and highlighting colors.

Chocolat will auto-complete JS variables, keywords, methods, functions, and parameters.
