I was really excited about Visual Studio for a chance at Coffeescript intellisense, however I learned after the several gig download it wasn't supported. It seems there is basically no way to get proper autocomplete in any editor for CS, suggesting maybe I should just consider Babel for ES6/7 despite my massive love for CS and giant projects built in it.

Have you tried IntelliJ IDEA?

  I've tried Webstorm and assumed IntelliJ IDEA had the same pitfalls, which, if I recall correctly, was poor performance and flaky autocompletion. I'll have to download it anyway and try though, if only to see what it looks like to have intellisense!

Webstorm has CoffeeScript support too. https://www.jetbrains.com/webstorm/help/coffeescript-support.html https://www.jetbrains.com/webstorm/help/coffeescript-support...

You might want to check out sublime with the 'Better Coffeescript' and 'CoffeeComplete Plus' packages. I've been using it for a while and, while it's not perfect, it's the best I've found. https://github.com/aponxi/sublime-better-coffeescript https://github.com/aponxi/sublime-better-coffeescript https://github.com/justinmahar/SublimeCSAutocompletePlus https://github.com/justinmahar/SublimeCSAutocompletePlus

  I agree, and it's close to usable but not quite. There are a few outstanding breaking issues on the repo that I wish someone who knew how it worked could fix, but the project looks abandoned. I actually heavily modified sublime-better-coffeescript to support highlighting function-calls and I added proper CSJX support. Been meaning to make a pull request; but these Sublime plugins are always so easily abandoned and under maintained that there's no point.

Have you tried the (free) Web Essentials extension? It adds CoffeeScript support to Visual Studio, as well as a lot of other useful webdev features. http://vswebessentials.com/features/coffeescript http://vswebessentials.com/features/coffeescript

WebEssentials extension for this. I use it with CoffeeScript and LESS.
