Question

Please suggest a IDE for JavaScript Coding with code completion and syntax checking for Windows or Linux.

So far I have found that satisfactory code completion and syntax checking support of JavaScript is provided by:

Visual Studio
Cloud9 IDE

This list is not exhaustive, but based on what I have already used.

But the code completion and syntax checking is far from perfect. It only provides suggestions based on what is already used.

Please suggest a IDE for JavaScript that has good code completion and syntax checking.

I know JavaScript is a loosely typed language and thus a perfect code completion and syntax checking is very unlikely. So please share your experience about what IDE you felt comfortable in.

I find Cloud9 IDE satisfactory for JavaScript. But I miss the Intellisense that I get when coding C# in Visual Studio.

Explanation / Answer

Take a look into JetBrains WebStorm. It's a fully focused IDE for web development, and is full of modules and plugins for develop JS using the most commons frameworks, like Angular, etc.
