Hey
I've started playing with Node.js these last 2 weeks, but I've run into a 
pickle - I'm in need of better development tools.
For now I'm using NPP, which is fine for small-scale JS development. But I'v 
found myself in need of a debugger. So far the best I've found was Eclipse + 
Chromium SDK, but it is far from useful - you can't add breakpoints beforehand, 
the files are unorganized, and it's colors can't be configured (which is a 
bitch when your color scheme is dark and it's font is black).
So I was wondering what tools you use to develop Node.js apps (from 
presentations I've noticed many use Vim - I am willing to make a switch if it's 
got bonuses over NPP - but I need something more than syntax highlighting and 
code-completion - but let's not start a "my editor is better" post).

Is a debugger still too much to ask for currently? should I simply log stuff to 
the console?

http://cloud9ide.com/ isn't quite ready yet but it might be worth keeping an 
eye on; one of its priorities is nodeJS development and debugging
