 I've noticed that as well.  I was going to try using eclipse for some
JavaScript work that I'm doing on my own BBS, but I ended up calling that off
due to lack of decent support.  Hell, I'm still looking for a good editor for
JavaScript, being as my project is getting a little bit out of hand for just
bouncing around with 5 different copies of 'vim' running right now.  I mean I
like it, but I really need something that can map the OO layout for me, at the
very least.
  As far as testing, that's something that I need to throw into play, as well.
I'm not familiar enough with testing to know how to do it, but I know that it's
exactly what I need for how cumbersome my shell is becoming.  TDD is where I'd
like to go with it, though I know there are other styles that might be a little
easier or quicker to implement.  I really need to get my professional software
engineer roomie to sit down with me and show me the ins and outs of it.  Still
haven't been able to find a decent tutorial for things on my own yet.

  Yeah I've got right around 100k of code right now that desperately needs to
be rewritten that way.  Well, that and I really need to go back and map my
layout ona frigging posterboard or something, because it's getting too complex
for me to remember off the top of my head.  Sucks when I leave an area of the
code for a few weeks, come back, and have to try to pick up where I left off.
I see some people that can fly in and out of sections of code they haven't
touched for awhile like that; I, alas, am not one of them.  Too much damage to
the memory back in the 90s, I guess.  ;)
